Today we're making my barbecue version of a traditional Hawaiian Kalua pork. We'll be slow-smoking a seasoned pork shoulder, before wrapping it in banana leaves and cooking it some more. Then we'll build some absolutely delicious sandwiches, along with my homemade slaw and an extremely tasty roasted pineapple sauce.
