# Kalua Pig

1. Set pressure cooker to saute
2. Fry (3 slices)[bacon] (brown on both sides)
3. Cut (2.3 kg)[Boston Butt roast] (bone-in or out) into equal sections
4. Cover roast with (25 g)[Alaea Red Hawaiian Coarse Sea Salt] (~¾ tsp per 1 lb of meat)
5. Add (240 g)[water] to pressure cooker
6. Place roast and (5 cloves)[peeled garlic] in pressure cooker
7. Cook on high for 90 min
8. In the liquid from the pig, place (1 head)[cabbage] wedges in pressure cooker
9. Cook on high for 1-5 minutes

## Slow Cooker Directions
- Line slow cooker with 3 slices of bacon
- Cut the skin from the roast (you can leave a little)
- 3 Weigh the roast. Because the long cooking time, salt will concentrate.
- Place ¾ teaspoon of medium-coarse salt to 1 pound of meat (fine salt is about half that amount).
- Place whole cloves inside the roast (cut a pocket)
- Add the salt
- Place the roast on top the bacon skin side up.
- Cook on low for 16 hours. (Do not add liquid)
