LauLau Recipe

Ingredients:
– 1lb Luau Leaves
– 2lb Beef Brisket
– Water
– handful of Salt
– 1 Large Onion sliced thinly

First step is to prepare the luau leaves

Just make sure to cut out the big vein section that connects to the stem. Some people take all the veins out, but it’s really not necessary.

Next, pressure cook the leaves in water for 5-10 minutes (boil ~15-20 minutes if no pressure cooker). I’m not too sure how much this helps, but it is supposed to make the dish “cleaner tasting”.

Then drain out the brownish water which has all that itchy-mouth stuff.

Brown the BEEF.

ADD onion.

Saute for a few minutes.

Then mix in the luau leaves and add enough water to cover. Yeah, my pressure cooker was too small for this.

Pressure cook for 1hour OR 3 hours if no pressure cooker.

The kitchen should now smell onolicious! Open up the pressure cooker and taste test the luau leaves. Are they still a little tough? Do they make your mouth itchy? If so, you need to cook it some more until it’s tender, moist and clean-tasting.

Once the leaves are all tender, add salt to taste.

I added more water since I wanted it a more soupy consistency…

Serve with rice or poi, raw maui onions and chili peppa water on da side. I think I going eat some more now…
