Oven roasted luau pig
This is great when you gotta have luau pig, but can’t do a luau. And it’s easier then burying a whole pig in the sand.
seasoned salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
Liquid smoke
approx. 8 lbs. pork roast. Shoulder is good but I prefer a picnic shoulder roast(this cut comes from the lower part of the pig’s front shoulder)
At least 8 banana leaves.
Wash the pork, pat dry and apply seasoned salt and several grinds of pepper. Sprinkle with liquid smoke and give it a good massage.
Now wrap the banana leaves around the roast and secure with string. Next, wrap in heavy duty foil and fold the edges tightly to seal.
Set it in a pan and cook it in a 250F oven for at least 7 hours.
When you remove it from the oven let it rest for 1/2 hour.
