Peanut Free Hawaiian Kalua Pulled Pork

This slow-cooked pulled pork brings the smoky, tender spirit of a traditional Hawaiian imu pit right into your kitchen with nothing more than a slow cooker and a handful of clean, straightforward ingredients. The pork shoulder gets rubbed down with sea salt, turmeric, and ginger before being nestled inside banana leaves, which trap steam and infuse the meat with a subtle earthy aroma as it cooks low and slow for eight hours. Coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar replace any soy-based sauces, keeping the flavor deep and savory without any of the store-bought ingredient anxiety that can come with bottled marinades. By the time it's done, the bone slides free on its own and the meat shreds into impossibly juicy, flavor-soaked strands that practically melt. The cooking juices get skimmed and stirred right back in, so every bite stays moist and well-seasoned from the inside out. Pile it over steamed rice, stuff it into slider buns, or serve it straight from the slow cooker at your next gathering — it disappears fast either way.
