One of the best things we tasted in Hawaii and it’s so simple to make! Happy Sunday! 💕
Aloha Flo. Couple added tips. Ti leaves also work good. Worst case try spinach or cabbage. As for liquid smoke we start the fire in the pit with Kiawe so if you can get liquid mesquite it will be even more authentic. Yum!
I made this last night, and ultimately decided to dial back the traditional saltiness by adding 1-2 Tbl of brown sugar. For me, it rounded out the flavor of the dish. I recommend this to anyone who, like me, is sensitive to salt.
…Flo not you dig the hole…Dude!!!!…
A bit too crispy
May I ask, where did you stay?
How do you guys remain slim? I do it through bad cooking. I am in trouble after finding your channel.
LOL I died when you said I'm not about digging a hole to smoke meat. bahahahah. can you tell me where you bought your liquid smoke in Vancouver? I live here too and never seen it before.
Looks amazing, thank you 😊
"What a difference, eh?"
Welcome back to Candanada from Hawaii! Hope that was a delightful trip, Flo and Dude.
Darn, but that looks tasty.
You don’t need to buy cut up pork. I use pork butt , Hawaiian salt, liquid smoke rub it all over put in instapot with water half way up the pork butt cook. Shred pork. Another one would cook it with long rice and green onion
I don’t have a pressure cooker but I do have a crockpot. If I cook the pork in a crockpot do I need to add some water?
Ha. I always thought “Kalua Pig” had the Kahlua booze in it.
Delicious and yummy recipe 😋👍👍❤❤❤stay connected
Oh, and I meant to say that by wrapping/using the Banana Leaves in this style of Kalua Pig, you add the flavors of a REAL Hawaii-style-in -the-IMU kind of roast Pig. The traditional Kalua Pork in the under ground oven is surrounded with Banana and Ti Leaves, and a boat load of Hawaiian Sea Salt. Can't get Ti Leaves other than in the tropics, so just Banana will do.
What brand is the Liquid Smoke?
OKAY! Now that you've made your own style of Kalua Pig, let's take take that Pork and add some Cabbage and Sweet White Onions to make another Hawaii favorite dish, Kalua Pig & Cabbage! Serve that over some steamed White Rice and got yourself some ONO KINE GRINDS! Aloha from a little homesick Island Gal in Arizona
I can't wait to try this. Looks like a great winter meal. When winter is just hanging on, turn on a Hawaiian meal!
I love liquid smoke, you can find it in any grocery store. It comes in many flavors. I have the hickory and the mesquite, also one with apple and something which is also great with pork. I also like it for salmon. I am going to make this just like all your amazing things you make, thanks so much for this one!
After watching this, I knew that I had to do this recipe as I was in the mood for Kalua pig. I had to find our pressure cooker first that we haven't used in 3 years. Luckily, I knew where it was at. We also had banana leaves on hand in the freezer. So we made this evening and it was so good. I love the crunch of the pork and broiling makes a difference. I love the fact that it took less than an hour to cook. Mahalo for sharing this with us!
Looks delicious. Can I use smokey paprika instead of liquid smoke?
Hawaiian BBQ been doing it down south for years, put it in a crock pot, same great flavor
Thank you, I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. At my age, videos will most like be the only way. And I enjoyed the ones you posted. This recipe looks so delicious!
Thanks for the recipe. I've always loved Kalua pork specially when I visit Hawaii. You've made the cooking process straightforward and easy to follow. I'll give it a try!
Using the broth to moisturize the pork at the end is icing on the cake, but I wonder if the charring is still crispy after that. Maybe you just have to avoid overdoing it.
I don’t even eat pork and I still watched HAHAHHAHAHA
This looks amazing!
In a slow cooker for how long Flo
Yum !!!
In the winter I make faux pulled pork – put unseasoned pork loin in crock pot, cover with water and add 2 capfuls of liquid smoke – cook until tender. Pull and shred. So, so good.
Could you season the pork and just stir-fry in a wok? Adding some garlic sounds good too.
Looks so delicious. Thanks guys. Stay safe out there.
I've made this several times over the years but a whole butt covered in foil and cooked for about 3 hours then just leave in the oven for another 5. Sometimes over night. But I've never done it with banana leaf. Guess I'll try now.
I absolutely love this channel. Every recipe I try is a banger. Keep on keeping on!
Where can I get liquid smoke?
Looks delicious 😋
Hi Flo, girl you know you made my day. PORK, PORK YES. LOL
Oh so good. I make this in my crock pot and serve it with Sticky rice. Thx for sharing
Thank you so much, with meat so expensive an Boston butt still cheap I am always looking for more different pork flavor profiles!!!
The Indian people are way ahead of you. So what they do to replicate tandoor cooking is place a lump of charcoal in a small dish, say foil, set the coal alight, blowtorch is the only way, then pour a little fat over it and set the dish in the meat and cover with whatever you can it has to be a tight seal film wraps good.. The smoking usually takes 30-40 minutes and I'm telling you it's x10 better than liquid smoke!!!
Delicious! And I am just watching! Yum!
That looks amazing! Come on Flo you can send Dude outside to dig that pit in your yard. I want to see you cook a whole pig. 🤣
