This year we decided to host our Thanksgiving gathering as a locavore feast to celebrate the abundance in which we live. The potluck gathering was attended by about 30 people, and everyone was deliciously well-fed. We had the main dinner here at the Ranch, then adjourned to Jessyca’s place up the hill for an after-dinner treat.
As best as I can recollect, here’s what we had:
- Scalloped purple sweet potatoes in kaffir-lime coconut milk
- Alii mushroom (king oyster) macadamia nut loaf
- Compote of papaya, poha berry (physalis), cocona and honey
- Roast ulu (breadfruit) with a roselle sauce
- Braised ʻopihi (limpets) in coco water and garlic chives
- Massaged kale salad with poha and tangerine
- Fennel-pineapple salad
- Purple sweet potato mash
- Basil-garlic chive mac-nut cheese
- Honey-glazed coconut meat
- Basil nut cheese and tomato salsa on pumpkin flat bread
- Crispy kale
- Guacamole with ulu chips
- Greens salad with lilikoʻi (passionfruit) dressing
- Coconut water with pomegranite juice
- Kambucha fruit drink
- Grapefruit vanilla honey granita
- Orange sweet potato pie
- Raw sweet potato pie with banana-nut crust and coconut cream sauce
- Bananas Foster with Koloa rum
Let me know what I missed or got wrong…
