I need some easy Luau Hawaiian Recipes?

Question

I'm having a Luau this Saturday and I need some easy/cheap recipes. I'm not familiar with Hawaiian cuisine at all! Thanks! (I am having Hawaiian pizza!)

Answer 1

Here are some simple and easy............

-------------Oven Kalua Pig
Traditionally cooked in pit with lava rocks Kalua Pig is the cornerstone of many Hawaiian celebrations.

Ingredients:
1 medium large pork butt (around 8 lbs.)
¼ Cup Hawaii salt or Kosher Salt
2 Cups water
1-Tablespoon Liquid Smoke

Directions:
Cut a few half-inch incisions into the pork. Place pork butt in large roasting pan. Rub in salt and liquid smoke. Pour water into pan. Roast in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for over 8 hours. Kalua pork is usually shredded and may be served with poi or rice.


---------------Huli Huli Chicken
Hawaiian barbequed chicken is an island favorite. In the Hawaiian language “huli” means “turn over” or “flip,” which is precisely how Huli Huli Chicken is cooked. The outstanding feature of Huli Huli Chicken is the sauce.

Ingredients:
3 Fryers split or quartered
¼ Cup Soy Sauce
¼ Ketchup
¼ Cup Pineapple juice concentrate
½ Cup Chicken broth
1/3 Cup White Wine
1 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Pinch Ginger

Directions:
Combine soy sauce, ketchup, pineapple juice concentrate, chicken broth, white wine, Worcestershire sauce, and ginger in a large bowl. You may marinate your chicken pieces in the sauce or brush on and barbeque immediately. Grill the chicken turning and basting with the sauce until fully cooked.


-------------------Lomi Lomi Salmon
Lomi Lomi in the Hawaiian language means “massage,” which refers to the way the ingredients are combined or massaged to create a wonderful cold salad.

Ingredients:
1 Pound salt salmon
4 Tomatoes peeled and diced
1 Medium Maui Onion chopped (mild white onion)
Green Onions for garnish

Directions:
Soak the Salt Salmon in water to help remove the skin and excess salt (If you cannot find salt salmon you may substitute canned salmon and rub in a small amount of Hawaiian Salt or Kosher Salt). Shred the Salmon with your hands. Combine shredded salmon, onions and tomatoes in large bowl and massage until thoroughly mixed. At this point you may choose to add some crushed ice to aid in chilling. Serve chilled.


--------------------------Haupia
Hawaiian coconut pudding is a wonderfully easy and delicious dessert.

Ingredients:
12 Oz. can Coconut Milk
5 Tablespoons Sugar
5 Tablespoon Cornstarch
¾ Cup Water

Directions:
Combine ingredients into a saucepan. Stir well until all are completely mixed. Bring mixture to a boil then simmer over low heat until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Pour thickened mixture into 8 inch square pan. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into squares and serve.

Answer 2

There's a recipe for Chicken Long Rice above and that would be my first pick for you. Very, very, very simple to make. I wouldn't even use all of those ingredients, just keep it simple.
I just use salt, ginger and green onions (along with the chicken and long rice). It's really easy and we make it all the time when we're lazy.

I think a lot of people would really like that dish and its truly authentic.

Hawaiian Pizza, no such thing.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aOg4H

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
