Hawaiian Roasted Pork Recipes

HAWAIIAN PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Cut pork roast in half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In large skillet, brown roast in oil on all sides; drain. Place in 5 quart slow cooker.
• In large bowl, combine pineapple juice, pineapple, brown sugar, celery, vinegar, and soy sauce. Pour over the roast.
• Cover and cook on low for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 160.
• Remove roast and keep warm. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, strain cooking juices; transfer to large saucepan. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over pork.
• NOTE: I like to use 2 forks and shred the pork roast instead of slicing it and return it to the cooking juices. I then serve it over rice. I also usually add the cornstarch & water mixture to the cooking juices in the crockpot instead of using a separate pan. I also sometimes add some extra pineapple chunks towards the end because my family really loves pineapple.

Sear the pork on the hot grill to lock in the natural juices. Whisk together guava jam, oil, and 1 teaspoon of water. Season with fresh cracked pepper. Rub the pork with guava paste. Set 2 wide pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Lay 5 banana leaves on each piece of foil in a crisscross pattern, then place the pork roasts on top. Fold the banana leaves up around the roasts to make a bundle. Insert a sugar cane spear through the banana leaves and into the pork to secure. Tent the foil over the roasts and seal 3 of the sides to form a pouch. Mix liquid smoke and remaining water together in a small bowl, pour it into the pouch. Close up the remaining edge of foil to lock in the moisture and flavor. Transfer back to the hot grill. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with the grill cover down.
