Hawaiian-Style Slow-Cooked Pork and Cabbage

1. Preheat Slow Cooker

Preheat your slow cooker on the low setting for about 10 minutes to get it ready for the pork.

2. Season Pork

While the slow cooker is warming up, take your boneless pork butt roast and season it generously with pink salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked paprika or Liquid Smoke.

3. Cook Pork

Once the pork is well-seasoned, place it into the preheated slow cooker and pour in ½ cup of water. Cover the slow cooker and let the pork cook on low for about 7 hours.

4. Add Cabbage

After 7 hours, carefully transfer the pork roast to a plate. Add the chopped cabbage to the slow cooker, spreading it out evenly. Place the pork back on top of the cabbage, cover, and continue to cook on low for an additional hour.

5. Shred Pork

When the final hour of cooking is up, remove the pork from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the pork on a baking sheet.

6. Serve

To serve, plate the shredded pork alongside the cooked cabbage. Reserve the liquid left in the slow cooker to keep any leftovers moist when reheating.
