Rub roast with salt and pepper in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown meat on all sides in oil. Transfer meat to a crock pot.
Cover and cook on high for 4 1/2 to 5 hours or on low for 9 to 10 hours, or until meat falls apart with a fork.
To serve, carve meat and spoon some sauce over. Serve with jasmin rice and vegetables. If you would prefer to make pulled pork, take two fork and pull the meat apart.
 Place just the meat into a large deep bowl and add your favorite barbecue sauce, mixing the meat and sauce all together then serve on a hard roll or bun.

The Hawaiian way to cook roast pork is called kalua pork and it was basically seasoned with sea salt and cooked wrapped in banana leaves in an underground oven (imu) which gave the pork a nice smoky flavor. Traditionally, it is still cooked that way, but when we make it at home there are recipes to 'imitate' the smokiness w/o using the underground ovens.
Many people are under the impression that if they add pineapple to a dish, that makes it Hawaiian... like the so-called Hawaiian pizza with ham and pineapple lol
