Hawaiian Meatballs
I was an incredibly picky child but this was the one meal that my mom made that I would always eat… and a whole lot of. You MUST try this recipe!
Kalua Pork
Our pastor’s wife, while we were stationed in Hawaii, gave me this recipe. It taste just like the imu pit roast pork, like they serve at luaus. It’s really easy to prepare too. I get tons of compliments and requests for the recipe every time I make it. It is really suppose to say 1 handful of rock salt, but the system won’t take that as a measurement. I usually halve the recipe, so I’m not real sure how many servings this makes. I know it makes LOTS. Also – not sure what the size of the bottle is for liquid smoke, but it’s small and I believe it is the only size you can buy at a regular grocery store. This can be frozen and tastes just as good, even a month later!
Beef Teriyaki
This tropical dish can be broiled as well. Be sure to soak the skewers in water before threading the meat and pineapple on. I’ll even soak them in the marinade.
BBQ Lime Pork Chops
The lime juice seems to keep these chops tender and juicy. If you want something a little spicier just add 1 tsp of chili to the marinade.
Chicken, Mango, and Rice Salad
This is an awesome summer salad. The mix of the ingredients may seem odd, but I promise you everyone I have served it to has loved it. Hopefully you will, too. The Mango gives just enough sweetness to the dish, and the many textures and flavors work well together. You may adjust the amounts to your liking. I tend to like more fruit and cilantro with less rice.
