Serves/Makes: 8
Ready in: > 5 hrs
- 5 pounds pork butt or shoulder
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke or soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Hawaiian salt
Using a sharp knife, cut small slits in the pork on all sides. Press the crushed garlic into some of the slits. Brush the liquid smoke or soy sauce over the pork then sprinkle with the Hawaiian salt. Place the pork in the crock pot. Carefully pour water in the crock pot to yield about 1 inch (try not to rinse off the seasonings on the pork). Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the pork is fork tender, turning the pork over after 4 hours. Remove the pork from the crock pot and shred. Serve with cooked cabbage (traditional) or on buns or in tortillas with any desired toppings.
