Samoan Fish (Vaisu)
A typical simple fish preparation from Samoa. Preparation time does not include time to prepare the grill.
Vaimeleni – Samoan Watermelon Drink
The recipe calls for all ingredients to be fresh, like making your own coconut milk – very time consuming and fresh coconuts are hard to come by. Posted for ZWT 7 and sourced from http://panipopos.blogspot.com
Oka – Samoan Raw Fish and Coconut Milk
This is a Samoan raw fish dish, similar to Kokoda and ceviche. Use a firm white fish. If possible make your own coconut milk, but canned will do.
Samoan Banana Panikeke (Fried Banana Doughnuts)
Little fried donuts with a tropical flavor of bananas. As an option, I have added crushed pineapple. The traditional panikeke is made with banana and rolled in cinnamon sugar. This recipe has an optional coconut syrup to dip the panikekes in. Posted here for ZWT7.
Pani Popo (Samoan Sweet Bread)
Pani popo is a Samoan sweet roll that has coconut (and if you like, pineapple) on the bottom. It is very popular throughout the islands, as many islands make different variations of the dish. Keeping your hands moist, will help with kneading the dough.
