I bought a two pack of port butts at Costco so I could make some pulled pork this summer. I immediately thought of the Kalua Pig we made years ago, but surprisingly I no longer have Hawaiian salt in the cupboard or banana leaves in the freezer. Instead I used this spectacular recipe for crock pot Kalua Pig from Nom Nom Paleo. Truly delicious.
I have used both butts up now with that recipe, one for a Sunday Dinner and one when we had some family in town to visit. I don't recall if we added the optional garlic cloves the first time, but we did the second time. Can't say for sure if it added anything extra, but garlic never hurts.
Everything about this recipe is super. Give it a try this summer.
