THONGS FOR COOKING

GRILL


 1. PLACE RIBS IN A BOWL SET ASIDE. MIX ALL REMAINING INGREDIENTS TOGETHER AND POUR OVER RIBS. LET THE MARINADE SIT ON RIBS OVERNIGHT IN THE REFRIGERATOR MIXING A FEW TIMES.

 2. NEXT SET UP GRILL, CHARCOAL GRILLING IS THE BEST FOR THESE RIBS. (IN HAWAII WE USE A WOOD CALLED KIAWE). ANY WOOD IS FINE OR COALS. WHEN YOUR GRILL IS READY LAY MEAT ON GRILLING SURFACE COOKING APPROX 3 MIN ON EACH SIDE. REMEMBER THAT THE MIXTURE ON THE MEAT WILL CAUSE FLAMES TO START, LIGHTLY SPRINKLE WATER ON FLAMES.

 3.
AS RIBS ARE DONE PLACE IN COVERED POT TO KEEP WARM. REMEMBER THAT GRILLING TIME CAN VARY DEPENDING ON THE THICKNESS OF THE RIBS AND YOUR HEAT FROM YOUR GRILL. ENJOY THESE DELICIOUS PIECES OF MEAT WITH ANY STARCH RICE OR POTATO AND A FRESH SALAD. ENJOY!!!

Haupia

4 cups coconut milk*
2-1/2 cups water
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch


Combine the coconut milk and water. Stir until smooth. Add the sugar and cornstarch. Cook over low heat until thickened and shiny. If the haupia is grainy, you need to keep cooking the mixture because the fat in the coconut milk has not yet melted. Chill & Serve

*Coconut milk, as you rightly recall, is made by mixing equal parts of shredded coconut and water, and simmering until foamy. Then the mixture is strained through cheesecloth, and you squeeze as much liquid out of the pulp as possible.
