Hawaii is super famous for a lot of their different flavors and unique-to-them foods. One of the things that I most recently came across was their Kālua Pig. For big or special fancy occasions, a lot of traditional Hawaiians will participate in full pig roasts. The Kālua part of it all is in relation to how it is seasoned and cooked. Here’s how it goes: rubbed with sea salt, wrapped in ti leaves and slowly cooked using mesquite smoke, not imu. Shred this up for some delicious pork nachos!
