There's nothing like the smell of kalua pork filling the house on a relaxing Sunday afternoon. It takes me back to my childhood summers in Hawaii, sitting under the palm trees with the unique smoky-sweet smell of this famous dish all around me. My aunts used to spend a lot of time cooking pork in an underground oven. They would patiently wait until the pork became soft and flavorful, like the islands.
Most of us don't have a Hawaiian imu pit to cook kalua pork, but this simple slow cooker recipe with only three ingredients can give you the same delicious flavors without much work. You only need a few basic ingredients and your reliable slow cooker to make this famous Hawaiian dish at home. Believe me, if you try a bit of this juicy, smoky-sweet pork, you will feel like you are on a tropical beach surrounded by palm trees.
