Slow Cooker Kalua Pork Recipe
Report
Grab your slow cooker and make some Hawaiian Style Kalua Pork for dinner. The bold, smoky flavor paired with my broccoli slaw is a match made in paradise!

- 2 Tablespoons coarse sea salt or Hawaiian sea salt
- 3 Tablespoons hickory liquid smoke**

Instructions
For the Pork:
- Place pork in a large crockpot. Sprinkle generously with the coarse sea salt. Drizzle the liquid smoke over the pork. Cover and cook on low for at least 8 hours.
- When pork is fully cooked, shred into large chunks and serve hot. If making a sandwich, you can shred the pork a little smaller. We like to eat the pork in large chunks the first day and make sandwiches with the leftovers.
For the Broccoli Slaw:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and sugar.
- Place broccoli slaw mix (found in the bagged salad section of the grocery store) in a medium bowl. Add crushed pineapple. Drizzle with dressing. Stir until combined. Refrigerate for at least an hour (more is better)!
- Serve slaw on the side with the pork. Or add it on top of your sandwich!
Notes
- I found the liquid smoke in the grocery store aisle next to the bbq sauces.
- Cook on low: The longer the pork has to cook, the more tender and juicy it will be. We let it cook for a full 9 hours to get the perfect fall-apart consistency.
- Serving: This Kalua Pork can be served as small chunks or shredded if you plan to eat it on a sandwich. It’s tasty both ways.
- Refrigerate the slaw: Just like the pork, the broccoli slaw needs a few hours for the flavors to combine and reach their full potential of flavor. I recommend making the slaw right after you add the pork to the slow cooker, then letting it chill in the fridge while the pork cooks.
