Luau Stew

Step 1

Take off the stems of the luau leave and peel off the outer skins of stems and then break the stems into pieces

Step 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.

Step 3

In a big pot put a little cooking oil in the there and then add the stew meat and brown it.

Step 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.

Step 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.

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.

Step 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.

Step 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!!
