CHICKEN LUAU BY KUANA TORRES



Chicken Luau by Kuana Torres image

We were very excited to kick off season 14 of Cooking Hawaiian Style with the multi-talented singer songwriter Kuana Torres. We had Kuana in our kitchen 7 seasons ago and thought it was about time to bring him back. His mana'o on Hawaiian culture and cuisine makes for an extra special episode. In addition to singing, Kuana spends much of his time online these days conducting hula work shops and lei making classes, this pandemic has not slowed him down one bit. Kuanaʻs Chicken Lūʻau recipe is definitely worth a try.

This modern version of a Hawaiian recipe combines chicken with spinach and coconut milk. A more traditional recipe for this dish would use taro leaves instead of spinach, and additional cooking time. You may also try making this recipe with two teaspoons fresh ginger, sliced, in place of the garlic, or in addition to the garlic. Taken from a Hawaiian tourist web site.

EASY CHICKEN LUAU

My friend served this at her son's birthday party and I immediately asked for the recipe. She gave it to me verbally and I was surprised by how simple it was! I had to post it so I wouldn't forget about it, since I don't have it on paper. Hope you enjoy! Everyone at the party loved it. Taro leaves are traditional in this recipe, but my friend made it with spinach and it was still delicious.
