Ingredients
- 4 pounds pork butt roast

Notes
Note: Black and red Hawaiian sea salts are harvested on a remote Hawaiian island and contains 84% sodium and 16% other naturally-occurring minerals. Both are available in specialty markets or on line and both have a very unique taste. One other note: Banana leaves are traditionally used to wrap the pork before it is cooked in a pit, and you certainly can buy them online or in specialty markets. Some say that they enhance the flavor; however, we’ve tried this recipe both ways and we couldn’t taste the difference. We feel the banana leaves are not needed when cooking this recipe in a slow cooker. (If you are, however, cooking this in a fire pit, the banana leaves likely help keep the pork moist.)
