OVEN KALUA PORK
Recipe courtesy Corinne Domingo 

4-5 lb pork butt 
3 tablespoons Hawaiian salt or kosher salt 
2 tablespoons liquid smoke 
8 ti leaves (or 2-3 banana leaves) 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make several slashes 
along the surface of the pork butt. Rub with salt, then 
liquid smoke. Prepare ti leaves by removing the rib. 
Lay out a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, 
and place 4 ti leaves on top. Place pork on leaves 
and wrap them around the pork. Cover with remaining 
leaves in the opposite direction until pork is 
completely wrapped. Wrap the foil tightly around
the pork to make a watertight seal. 
Place package in a large roasting pan. Fill with two 
inches of water and cover pan tightly with foil. Bake 
at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Lower temperature to 
325 degrees F and cook for 3-3 1/2 hours or until 
tender. Unwrap pork from package and shred before 
serving.
