My grandma is turning 77 in a few weeks and I want to have a luau themed party for herI was hoping for some original ideas.
Luau Pig-The easy way: For EACH 8 people you will need: A 4 pound pork butt (Boston butt, actually a shoulder cut) 1/2 bottle of Stubbs Mesquite smoke flavoring Medium coarse Sea Salt (Hawaiian is good) A aluminum disposable turkey pan 1 or 2 bags of spinach leavesHeavy duty aluminum foil for BBQ'ingRinse the roast with waterrub with Stubbs smoke flavor, then salt lightlyAbout 8 grains of salt in the size of a US quarter is just rightPlace spinach leaves in the bottom of the pan, (3 roasts per pan) seasoned roast on top then cover in spinach leavesSeal pans with heavy foilBake at 350 F in the oven for 6 hoursYes, 6 hoursRemove pull roasts from the panShred the pork using two forks (like southern pulled pork)Drain the juice from the pan and mix with the meatServeTastes just like the luau's on a Hawaiian beach In fact this recipe comes from a Hawaiian native family who are my dear friends Start with some puu puu's like egg rolls and bbq pork loin and cold beer while the pig is cookingServe the pig with: Corn on the cob Lomi Lomi Salmon Macaroni salad with SPAM diced up in it Sliced pineapple Mango salad Watermelon, cantalope, green grapes and shredded sweetened coconut saladUse a melon baller Mai Tai's Kona coffee to finish with some cocunut cookies (Asian market fare).
