Reply to "Kalua Pork or Hawian Smoked Pork Recipe?"

Traditionally they wrapped well in wet leaves of the Ti plant and slow cooked until it steamed apart.[Shoulder or butt]

You could oven cook in foil and get close.
Banana leaves will work on butts.

In the whole hog pits they would layer bottom with hot rocks,Ti leaves,pig,Ti leaves,hot rocks,wet burlap.

Most are pretty disappointed,after they have had decent pulled pork.

Drinking the fermented distilled juice of the Ti plant makes it taste better.

It is something like Okoleehau liquor.

Emeril on the Food channel probably has his approach,coating it with essence.

Hope this helps a little.
