OVEN KALUA PORK
Fire up the tiki torches -- it's time for a luau! This delicious slow-roasted pork is rubbed with sea salt and liquid smoke to recall the glorious flavors of pig cooked in a traditional Hawaiian imu. Once cooked and cooled, it can be shredded and served with poi, yams or even on a bun. You may use ordinary sea salt for this recipe if the Hawaiian variety is unavailable.

KALUA PIG
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Lay 2 sheets of foil (each about 1 feet long) on a work surface with long sides overlapping by about 4 inches. Cut 2 (12-inch) lengths from banana leaf and center 1 on foil. Put pork on banana leaf and sprinkle with salt and liquid smoke. Cover top of pork with other 12-inch length of banana leaf and 2 overlapping sheets of foil (each about 1 1/2 feet long). Crimp edges of foil tightly to form a packet and put in a large roasting pan. Add 1 inches of water and cover pan tightly with more foil.
- Bake pork in middle of oven 4 hours. Pour off liquid from pan and, when pork is just cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks in a bowl. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Select the right Boston butt: Choose a Boston butt that is between 7 and 9 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough meat to feed your guests.
- Score the pork shoulder: Scoring the pork shoulder will help the rub and smoke penetrate the meat more deeply.
- Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what will give your pork shoulder its flavor. Be sure to use a rub that you like and that will complement the pork.
- Smoke the pork shoulder at a low temperature: Smoking the pork shoulder at a low temperature will help it to cook evenly and develop a tender texture.
- Use a water pan: Using a water pan will help to keep the pork shoulder moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the pork shoulder rest before serving: Letting the pork shoulder rest before serving will help it to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.
Conclusion:
Logan's Smoked Boston Butt Kalua is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The pork shoulder is smoked to perfection and then shredded and served with a variety of sides. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
