The main event at most Hawaiian luaus is a whole pig cooked in an underground pit oven called an imu. A freshly-dug pit as deep as four feet, the imu transfers heat through stones layered over wood kindling. You may not have an imu, but Suvie produces similar low, slow heat, and liquid smoke imparts a flavor reminiscent of a wood fire. Kalua pork is traditionally served shredded, and we’ve added juicy pineapple and slivers of sharp red onion to provide contrast. White rice (cooked for 15 minutes in the starch pan) or sweet potatoes could round out a meal. Hawaiian sea salt is available at specialty foods stores and online from Hawaii Specialty Salt Company.
