Kālua — cooked slowly in an underground oven

Smoky kālua pork reaches the lānai, and one very attentive guest appears before the plate is fully set down. He sits beautifully, though his eyes never leave dinner.

Kālua describes the traditional method of slow cooking in an imu. The patient aroma gathers everyone nearby, including the family member with the keenest nose.
