There’s nothing quite like the aroma of kalua pork wafting through the house on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It instantly transports me back to my childhood summers in Hawaii, sitting under the swaying palms as the unmistakable smoky-sweet scent of this iconic dish filled the air. My aunties would spend hours tending to the underground pit oven, patiently waiting as the pork transformed into tender, falling-apart morsels imbued with the flavors of the islands.

While most of us don’t have easy access to a traditional Hawaiian imu pit for cooking kalua pork, this 3-ingredient slow cooker version captures those same luscious, kalua flavors with hardly any effort. Just a few simple ingredients and your trusty Crock Pot are all you need to re-create this iconic Hawaiian delicacy in your own kitchen. Trust me, one bite of this succulent, smoky-sweet pork will have you dreaming of tropical beaches and swaying palm trees.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 pound pork butt or shoulder roast
  • 2 tablespoons Hawaiian sea salt or coarse kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke
