Easiest pork EVER

Kalua Pig


Okay this recipe takes all day in your slow cooker, but seriously so easy!!!!

I got this recipe from a blog called Whole30 Cooking. And they call it Kalua Pig, which is just so cool and I love it. I love that you can eat pork on Whole30! Life is good. Also, click here to see what to do with your leftovers!



Anyway, onto the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

5 lbs pork shoulder 
2 tablespoons liquid smoke 
2-3 tablespoons Pink Himalayan Salt 

 DIRECTIONS:

 1. Rinse pork and pat dry. Place in a slow cooker. 

 2. Stab holes all over the pork with a knife.

 3. On one side put 1 Tbs. of liquid smoke and 1 Tbs. of salt and the same on the other side. 

 4. Cook on low for 10 hours. (I know it's a long time)

  • Shred (but not too thin) in slow cooker and serve. 
  • Serve with charred cabbage or really anything. You can buy a head of cabbage or shredded cabbage (because Trader Joe's only has shredded cabbage, punks). And I threw it in a skillet with some oil, salt, and pepper. It was perfect. 
  • Feel free to garnish with jalapenos or more cabbage, hot sauce, anything you want.




  • This may seem like it won't be flavorful or it's a lot of time for nothing, but you will have so many leftovers and it is the best pork I have ever had, there I said it. TRY IT! Make it for a party, dinner, meal prep, ANYTHING!
