Lucky Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I was thinking maybe putting pineapple and sliced up mango on a kabob type of thing...and maybe some kind of dip for the fruit... Laurie, take your kabob things and add thick pieces of smoked sausage to them. Marinate them in a soy/honey/ginger marinade, or buy a ready made Hawaiian marinade. Stick 'em under the broiler, or on the grill. Mmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Every "Hawaiian" thing I have been to (excluding dinners actually in Hawaii) has included Swedish meatballs in some kind of pineapple sauce. I have mixed feelings about those. Sometimes they are good. If it were me, i would bring a big bowl of homemade poi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Spam. Seriously. Hawaii peope eat more Spam than any other people in the world. But Spam is gross, so roast pork would be optimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Again Shannon, you have put an image in my head! Imagine, if you will, a luau. It is the time of the event when they dig up the roasted pig out of the fire pit. The taro leaves are pulled off to reveal a giant cube of Spam. That would be great!

MuzikTyme Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I thought Spam was pork? Actually it's pork shoulder but people have no trouble eating ham. We all know where that comes from, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 most likely they'd carve the spam into the shape of a pig. Me, I'm a Poreef person (PLEASE tell me you get that Marc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Try this marinade with chicken or pork... 2 cups soy sauce 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup brown sugar 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped or put thru a garlic press a dash of ginger if you like Blend well together until the sugar starts to dissolve. Pour over meat, I use a ziplock bag and then set in a bowl, and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, best when done overnight...then grill or bake. Very good ! I halved this for pork chops ( for 2 ) , and used regular cooking oil instead of olive oil as I thought it might taste too strong . I also added some powdered Asian chile peppers for a bit of bite . You could also boil the marinate a bit after with some cornstarch to put a thick sauce on , if you like . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
