How to cook deliciously - Kalua Pork

1. Stage

Place the roast on a 22x18-inch piece of heavy-duty foil; season the pork with liquid smoke and soy sauce. Wash the bananas and place them at the base of each side of the roast. Pull the sides of the foil up around the meat; add water. Seal the foil tightly, then wrap again with another large piece of foil.

2. Stage

Place the foil packet in a shallow baking pan, and refrigerate it overnight, turning several times.

3. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the foil-wrapped meat in a roasting pan and bake for one hour. Reduce the heat to 325° and continue baking for 3 hours and 30 minutes.

4. Stage

Drain the pork; discard the bananas and cooking liquid. Shred the meat with a fork. Editor's Tip: It's easier to shred the pork while the roast is hot because the heat loosens the muscle fibers and connective tissue, which become condensed as the meat chills. Shred the meat with two forks, with your hands or using a stand mixer on low with the paddle attachment.
