Say “aloha” to this Hawaiian-style pulled pork recipe. Smoky and succulent, it can be served over rice, added to soup or used as a high-protein addition to scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Serves 16 (1 serving = ~115 grams)
Ingredients
- 1.8kg pork roast
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- Optional garnish: (pickled red onions or radishes) 1 red onion or 4 radishes, ⅓ cup white vinegar and ¼ teaspoon of sugar
Directions
Combine black pepper, paprika, onion and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Rub the seasoning blend on all sides of the pork. Place pork into a slow cooker or a crock-pot. Sprinkle with liquid smoke.
Add enough water to the slow cooker or crock-pot to measure ¼–½" deep. Cook on high for 4–5 hours.
Remove pork from cooking liquid and shred meat using two forks.
Tip
For quick pickled red onions or radishes, marinate one sliced red onion or 4 sliced radishes in a ⅓ cup of white vinegar and a ¼ teaspoon of sugar for 1 hour. Drain and use as a garnish.
