Slow Cooker Kalua Pork


Fitness RX
Serving size: 1/2 cup
Calories 175 | Fat 8g | Carbs 0g | Protein 25g
Ingredients
5 pound Boston butt pork roast (I prefer bone-out)
1-1/2 tablespoons sea salt (or Hawaiian sea salt if you can find it)
5 peeled garlic cloves (optional)
3 bacon slices* (optional)
*Bacon is used to add flavor to the pork during the slow cooking process. This also provides a small amount of fat to the recipe. This can be omitted as a personal preference.
Preparation
(Optional) Line the bottom of the slow cooker with strips of bacon.
Place the pork in the slow cooker.
Evenly salt the pork.
Tuck the garlic cloves into the pork roast.
Cook on low for 16 hours. Don’t add any liquid.
After 16 hours, take the pork out of the cooker and shred with a fork.
Make sure you don’t shred it inside the cooker, as the juices will make it too salty.
