My Quasi Hawaiian Plate Lunch

Pork is restricted on this diet so those yummy plate lunches of kalua pig and mac salad and even the lomi lomi salmon is gone! (no tomatoes on this diet as they are a common allergen).

Our plate will have brown rice or poi, kalua turkey, poke, & green salad. We can try something different for the lomi lomi salmon but half of the point is the wonderful liquer that develops when white and green onions, salted salmon, and tomatoes get "lomi'd" into one another.

Brown Rice, Poi, and Green Salad are the basics that need no recipes. Cook your brown rice, buy your poi at the store, and make a simple green salad (dress with little lemon, oil, and Braggs)

Kalua Turkey
Ingredients:
1/2 head of cabbage
1 container of Kalua Turkey
The ingredients list turkey and salt and in local grocery stores, it's found in the same area as the prepackage lau laus and kalua pig.

This is so simple it can only be called a meal idea. Cut up your caggage, dump your kalua turkey into a pan to heat (a tablespoon or two of olive oil helps but isn't necessary). Once your turkey is heated throw in your cabbage and let it slightly wilt. That's it, I told you it was simple.

Poke
Ingredients:
1/2 pound of firm ahi
White and green onion
Sesame oil
Braggs

This recipe is only for those times when Shoyu Poke is the only thing available. Basically, cut up the ingredients, mix them in a bowl and use just a bit of oil and a splash of Braggs. If you've got limu (seaweed) on hand, you can use that. Of you can omit the Braggs and oil and use inamona (Kukui Nut) for a Hawaiian style poke.

That's all for the plate.
