Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. With a sharp knife, score pork on all sides. Mix paprika and salt together, and rub seasoning evenly over pork.
  • Wrap shoulder as completely as possible with large collard leaves and secure with butchers' twine. Place roast in center of a large sheet of tinfoil, and gather foil up and around roast. Put an additional sheet or two of foil over roast as necessary, so it is completely wrapped.
  • Place pork shoulder on a rack in a roasting pan measuring 9 by 13 inches, and pour an inch of water into pan. Transfer pork to oven, and cook for half an hour. Reduce temperature to 450 degrees, and cook for 4 hours, adding more water every half-hour if necessary.
  • Remove pork from oven, and let rest 10 minutes. Transfer to a pan or a large platter with sides steep enough to collect juices. Unwrap tinfoil, and remove wrapping of cooked greens. With your fingers, pull pork off and shred it. Serve with a bowl of cooking liquid and poi, for dipping.

  • Using a sharp paring knife, carefully cut a few deep slits into each piece of pork shoulder, then insert sliced garlic into each pocket.
  • Add the olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat (I use a 5-qt Dutch oven). Once the oil is hot & shimmering, carefully add in the prepared pork. Work in batches, as necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pot (which prevents browning). Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer the browned pork to a plate, remove the pot from the heat & set aside to cool.
  • Place the seared pork in the center of one of the pieces of banana leaf. Season with the Hawaiian sea salt & 1 tablespoon of the liquid smoke, using your hands to rub the salt & liquid smoke all over the surface of the pork. Arranged the seasoned pork in a small pile at the center of the banana leaf, folding the corners & edges of the banana leaf into the center to encase the pork. Carefully flip & set the wrapped pork seam side down on the second section of banana leaf. Repeat folding with the remaining pieces of banana leaf. Note: The banana leaf may split a little bit as you work, which is okay. Just work quickly & do your best to completely encase the pork in the banana leaf.
