Description

Kalua pig is a traditional Hawaiian dish that is often served at luaus, or Hawaiian-style celebrations. It’s a slow-cooked pork dish that is cooked in an imu, or an underground oven. However, thanks to the pressure cooker, this dish can now be made in a fraction of the time. This pressure cooker kalua pig recipe is the perfect way to enjoy this classic Hawaiian dish in a fraction of the time. It takes just a few minutes of prep time and one hour of cooking time. The result is a moist, flavorful pork that is packed with smoky, salty flavors. It’s a great dish to serve at any gathering or to enjoy as a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

For this pressure cooker kalua pig recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2-3 pounds boneless pork shoulder
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Season the pork shoulder with sea salt. Rub the salt all over the pork shoulder, making sure to season the entire surface. Place the pork shoulder in the pressure cooker.
  2. Add the liquid smoke and water to the pressure cooker. Secure the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure. Cook for 45 minutes.
  3. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure. Open the lid and check the pork for doneness. If the pork is not cooked through, continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes.
