Kalua Cabbage

  • Pork
Kalua Cabbage

Re-create the steaming effect of an imu, or Hawaiian underground oven, using your slow cooker to make this hearty pork and cabbage dish. Lapsang souchong, a smoky tea, mimics the imu’s smoke while a whole banana replicates the flavor traditionally imparted by layers of banana leaves. If you can’t find lapsang souchong, you can replace it with 2 tablespoons liquid smoke. Serve with rice.

Ingredients

  • 2½ pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed

  • 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 large banana, scrubbed

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons smoky tea leaves, like lapsang souchong

  • Banana leaves (optional)

  • 1 large or 2 small heads green cabbage (about 4 pounds), cored and cut into 2-inch strips
