Things To Do With A Kalua Pig

Kalua pig is a traditional luau staple.


Kalua pig is a featured food in Hawaiian luau celebrations. Traditionally, the kalua pig is roasted on hot coals in a hole in the ground. In less traditional homes, kalua pig can be imitated by a crock pot, pressure cooker or conventional oven. There are many ways to serve kalua pig, including over rice and cabbage, making a sandwich or quesadillas, or serving with pineapple salsa. Add this to my Recipe Box.


Serve with Rice and Cabbage


After you cook the kalua pig, you can mix in cabbage and chicken stock in a pot on the stove to make a tasty Hawaiian alternative to corned beef and cabbage. Serve on hot white rice.


Kalua Pig Sandwich


There are many variations to the kalua pig sandwich. One includes mozzarella or Swedish Fontina cheese and kalua pork on a toasted baguette.


Kalua Pig Quesadillas


Kalua pig quesedillas put a Mexican twist on this Hawaiian dish. Serve tomato and avocado salsa with kalua pork quasedillas of moo shu wrappers or tortillas.


Kalua Pig with Pineapple Salsa


If you are planning to serve the kalua pig later, you can make pineapple salsa ahead of time. Serve the pineapple salsa over the hot kalua pig or on the side.
