OVEN KALUA PIG
By Muriel Miura
- 4 pounds pork butt
- 2 tablespoons rock salt
- 1/4 cup liquid smoke

Score pork on all sides, making 1/4-inch-deep slits 1 inch apart. Rub salt into slits, then rub all sides with liquid smoke. Wrap in ti leaves, then in foil, and seal. Let stand 30-45 minutes.
Place on rack in shallow roasting pan. Roast 45 minutes at 550 degrees, then at 400 degrees for 3-1/2 hours or until done.
Shred cooked pork and let stand in pan juices before serving. Serves 8 to 10.
