The CK Daily – Food Traditions
Happy Monday!
The sunshine brought a welcome reprieve to all the rain we had last week, and we were able to spend some time at a park this weekend. We also spent some time celebrating my dad’s birthday. My parents just returned from a family reunion on Oahu (my father is from Hawai’i) and my dad made some laulau which is typically a meat or fish dish wrapped in leaves and baked/steamed. Instead of using the traditional taro leaf, he used collard greens and instead of using pork, he subbed in oxtail which turned out amazing.
I’ve only ever had pork laulau, and in my opinion, oxtail is a complete game-changer. Think about the richest braised beef you’ve ever tasted, that’s pretty much what it was like, and the flavors also infused into the collard greens. As the gray hairs start settling more on my head I’m more appreciative of the food traditions of both of my inherited cultures. There’s also a lesson to be learned by making do with what’s available and making it work. I hope you have a great week and finish the month strong! July is just around the corner!
