Kalua Pig image

My Hawaiian neighbor made this and brought over a container full for my family. It is soooo good so she wrote down how she makes it. I am adding it here for safe keeping. :) The prep directions are the same whether you are cooking it in the stove or crock pot. This is so incredibly simple but the finished product is so yummy....

Made this for a party and it was a huge success! Everyone raved about how delicious the pork was. I'm definitely going to make this again for my next gathering.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this recipe! I'm not the biggest fan of pork, but this dish changed my mind. The slow cooking process really brings out the flavor of the meat.

Followed the recipe to a T and the pork turned out amazing! So moist and juicy, with a perfect balance of spices. Will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation of recipes.

This recipe was a hit at my last luau! The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the crispy skin was to die for. I'll definitely be making this again.
