Ok, When I first moved to Hawaii in 1970 with my Native Hawaiian husband and 3 children I was introduced to this recipe from my sister in law who has since passed on but she was a wonderful cook. I use different seasoning than hers as well(she just used Hawaiian salt for seasoning... This picture of the stew looks foggy cause I...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 bunch luau leaves ( leaves from the taro plant)
stems of the luau leaves
hawaiian salt or sea salt to taste
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2-3/4 c granulated chicken boullion
water

Steps:

  • 1. Take off the stems of the luau leave and peel off the outer skins of stems and then break the stems into pieces
  • 2. Place the luau leaves and broken up stems in the kitchen sink that is filled with water. Let it sit in the water while you go to the next step.
  • 3. In a big pot put a little cooking oil in the there and then add the stew meat and brown it.
  • 4. Next after browning up the meat add water to fill 1/2 the pot. I skim off the scum that is on the top of the water.
  • 5. Add the seasoning.. I believe I added 1 tsp sea salt, the 1 TBSP minced garlic, and the chicken boullion granules.. stir it up and let it cook with the meat while we go to the next step.
  • 6. Back to the sink I clean the leaves and stems with the first wash and then let all that water run out and replace water again and give the leaves and stems another wash.
  • 7. Then I get my cutting board and a sharp knife and take about 3-4 of the leaves and roll them up and cut into strips.
  • 8. Place the cut up luau leaves in the pot along with the stems and let it cook for about one hour or till meat is tender. I also taste test to check the seasonings. if more salt is needed etc. When done laddle into bowls and enjoy!!

This stew is a great way to use up leftover pork. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. I think next time I'll use less chili pepper.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I used almond milk instead in this recipe. It turned out great!

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly! The pork was so tender and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my luau stew turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This luau stew is a great way to use up leftover kalua pig. It's also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck.

I was disappointed with this luau stew. The pork was tough and the vegetables were bland. I won't be making this again.

This stew was a little too salty for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. I think next time I'll use less soy sauce.

This luau stew was a hit at my Hawaiian-themed party! The flavors were amazing and the pork was fall-apart tender. I'll definitely be making this again.
