Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 146kcal
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds boneless pork butt
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt, (I used Hawaiian red sea salt)*
Instructions
- Place pork on a plastic cutting board and use a sharp knife to trim and visible excess fat off of the roast. I try to cut off as much as possible.
- Using a small pairing knife, make 5-6 small slits around the outside of the pork and tuck once piece of garlic in each slit.
- Season the outside of the meat with sea salt. Be sure to season the top, bottom, and both sides.
- Place the pork butt into your slow cooker and pour the liquid smoke over the top and set heat to low and cook for 12-16 hours. I like to set this up before bed so the pork is cooking overnight.
- When the pork is done, there will be a lot of liquid in the pot. You can save a little to drizzle over the top, but be sure to discard the rest otherwise the meat will be too salty.
- Remove pork from slow cooker and shred apart. Be careful not to place back into the juice from the slow cooker, because it may make your pork too salty.
- Place pork back into the slow cooker (or in serving dish) and enjoy!

Notes
- I learned from NomNom Paleo that some of the newer slow cookers may cook faster, finishing the meat in 9-12 hours. I cooked mine for the entire 16 hours using this slow cooker.
