What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Simple Sensations: Kalua Pork Roast! This special blend of herbs is a tribute to warm, tropical summer nights. The term, “Kalua”, is Hawaiian for slow cooked. I have put this frozen roast in the oven and let flavors blend all day long for an exotic taste that will have your senses wondering if you’ve been transported to a private paradise. The extra meals provided are a bonus that will have others showering you with praise in the days following.
KALUA PORK ROAST
Ingredients:
4 pound boneless pork butt roast
1 tablespoon Red Hawaiian Alaea Sea Salt*
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning
2 cups apple juice
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 bottle beer
Instructions:
Set oven to 275Β°. Place frozen pork roast in a covered roaster, fat side up. Pour apple juice and apple cider vinegar over roast. Next apply liquid smoke. Finish by sprinkling the Alaea sea salt and Mrs. Dash herb blend over the pork. Make sure the lid is on securely. You will begin to smell the heavenly aroma as it slowly cooks. Five hours later, check the roast, as the liquid will absorb. I discovered some roasters allow the liquid to evaporate a little sooner than I expected. I have found Le Creuset to be very reliable. If the roast needs more liquid, pour a bottle of beer over it. Keep it covered and slowly cook it at least another three hours. I have let it cook for ten hours total without a problem. It is so fork-tender you will be amazed. And the drippings can be used for gravy or barbecue sauce.

I’m heading forwards towards July, Gail. I am on vacation, visiting my Mom in her memory care apartment and taking care of my brother’s dogs while he and his wife are in France. xo π π
