sea salt

🥗Healthier: Himalayan pink salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Table salt is more accessible and less expensive.

Prepare the marinade by mixing coconut milk, sea salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped onion, grated ginger, and lime juice in a bowl.

Cut the pork into large chunks and place it in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Wrap the marinated pork in banana leaves to keep it moist during cooking.

Place the wrapped pork on the grill and cook for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and slightly charred.

While the pork is grilling, prepare the vegetables by peeling and cutting sweet potatoes and taro into chunks.

Boil the sweet potatoes and taro in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before unwrapping.

Slice the pork and serve it with the boiled sweet potatoes and taro on the side.

Garnish with fresh herbs and chili peppers for added flavor.

Enjoy your Samoan BBQ with friends and family, celebrating the communal spirit of the dish.
