Keiko's Kahlua Pork and aloha sweet Potatoes (recipe by keiko chun)


KAHLUA PORK
  • season pork butt with hawaiian rock salt and liquid smoke (start with 1/4 cup each).  
  • wrap with banana leavers then wrap with heavy duty foil.  
  • Roast in oven 270-275 degrees for 8 hours.  
  • You can use the meat juice, rock salt and liquid smoke to season more, once you shred the roast.
ALOHA SWEET POTATOES

  • 4-5 medium sweet potatoes (note: canned yams can be used in place of sweet potatoes)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup water
Boil sweet potatoes in their jackets until tender, about 25 minutes. Let cool, then peel and cut into slices 1.5 inches thick.  

In a large skillet, melt butter.  Stir in brown sugar and water and cook on medium heat about 5 minutes.  Reduce heat and add sweet potatoes to skillet.  Cook gently, tossing lightly until sweet potatoes are glazed.  Sprinkle with coconut before serving.  Makes 8 servings.
