Kalua Pork

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I only used a 5 lb roast, and I did mine in the crockpot. I cooked it on high for 6 hours, and it turned out great. The meat was very tender and tasty. The cut of pork is a little fatty for my taste. The leftover meat is also great to make into BBQ sandwiches.

Have you tried to make this in a crockpot? Do you think it would turn out ok?

For my passalong shortcut recipe, I skip the salt and rub the meat with a teaspoon or so of the liquid smoke, then braise(using beer) in a dutch oven at about 225 for 8 hours on a 3# pork shoulder. The low heat “melts” the connective tissue and makes it yummy and unctuous.

This makes great pulled pork sandwiches.

If you live where you can get banana leaves, try wrapping the roast in those after rubbing with seasonings. Then braise as usual. Imparts a Yucateca flavor.

i was introduced to this by another favorite cooking blog recently, but apparently it CAN turn out quite salty if you can’t find the hula or hawaiian or pink salt and use sea or regular salt instead. of course i’m not sure about this recipe, as i haven’t tried it yet.

just a warning for those who have a salt sensitive palate like me, or who are on salt reduced diets: adjust accordingly.
