Description
A traditionally Hawaiian dish featuring smoky and tender pork, perfect for gatherings or cozy family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 pounds pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Rub the pork shoulder with sea salt, black pepper, and liquid smoke. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
- Place the seasoned pork in the slow cooker, and add the water. The water will help keep the meat moist while it cooks.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until the meat is tender. You’ll know it’s ready when it pulls apart easily with a fork.
- Shred the pork and serve. The tender meat can absorb your favorite sauces or toppings beautifully.
Notes
Choose a pork shoulder with good marbling for increased flavor. Letting the pork sit in the refrigerator overnight allows flavors to develop. A meat thermometer can help achieve ideal tenderness.
