Ancient Hawaiians cooked kalua pig is cooked in an underground oven full of hot rocks. Here's a simple recipe you can make in the comforts of your own modern kitchen.

First, get a knife and score the pork butt chunk. Rub some Hawaiian salt and liquid smoke on all sides. Place it onto a piece of aluminum foil and wrap it so that no steam can escape. Place it in a roasting pan and roast in an oven preheated to 450°F degrees. Cook at this temperature for 1 hour, then reduce the heat to 400°F and cook for another 3-4 hours or until done. Shred the pork and serve.
