Kalua Pork Sandwich
This Kalua Pork Sandwich is a Hawaiian classic with juicy, smoky pork on a bun with pickles and coleslaw.
Ingredients
- 3 lb boneless pork shoulder
- 1 large banana leaf or several small pieces
- 2 tbsp Hawaiian sea salt
- 2 tbsp liquid smoke
- 2 cups chicken stock or water
- 10 buns
- coleslaw
- Hawaiian BBQ sauce
Recipe Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Poke small slits into pork. Cover generously with the Hawaiian sea salt and liquid smoke, using your hands to rub it all over the pork surface.
- Gently wash the banana leaves with a wet cloth. Arrange the pork in a pile in the center of the banana leaves, folding in the corner and edges to encase the pork. Carefully flip over and set the seam side down on a second banana leaf.
- Place the leaf wrapped pork into a Dutch oven and cover with water or stock. Cover the pot and transfer to oven. Cook for 3 hours, until it’s tender.
- Transfer pork to a cutting board or plate and shred. Place shredded pork on a bun topped with slaw and BBQ sauce.
