This is a quick and easy recipe for those who own and love your slow cooker.
Over the years, I’ve discovered the magic of having a slow cooker myself – the meat gets more tender while retaining all those delicious flavors. For me, another big advantage of using a slow cooker is, lying around, the extra time I get for myself while I cook dinner…on its own.
You’ll need one special ingredient for pork kalua: liquid smoke. This is a simple way to enjoy delicious smoked pork without any hard-to-find ingredients.
If you have access to special ingredients like black lava sea salt, use them, but you don’t need them to recreate delicious kalua ham at home.
The trick is to keep the pork intact, so don’t cut or separate it until you’re ready to eat it. Then chop it up with a fork and enjoy some delicious side dishes.
What does pork kalua serve? There are so many ways to enjoy this…from simple guacamole to crunchy keto coleslaw.
