Kalua Pig

Kalua Pig

4-5 pound pork butt
2½ tablespoons Hawaiian salt (substitute kosher salt)
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
1 banana leaf (substitute 5 or 6 whole, unpeeled bananas or just use foil)
5 or 6 ti leaves (substitute aluminum foil)

Make several shallow long cuts along the roast or poke all over with a fork. This allows the salt and liquid smoke to seep into the meat. Rub with salt and liquid smoke. Wrap the roast with banana leaf . Cut the ribs from the ti leaves and wrap over the banana leaf. also you can use foil for both banana and ti leaves, . (Ti leaves can often be bought from the local florist). Tie good with twine. Roast in a 325-350 oven for about 45 minutes per pound. When meat is done, remove coverings and shred pork. I cook my pig in those foil deep pans so i can just throw them away when done.
