Kalua Pig Recipes
Traditional Kalua Pig is pork roasted in an underground
oven called an Imu, but simpler versions can be
cooked in a modern oven or a crock pot. Modern recipes
sometimes add seasonings like garlic, soy sauce,
and ginger, but more traditional recipes are often
seasoned only with salt and smoke from the Imu.
