Good!!! high 5!


Pork butt and Salmon wow


It is a bit unconventional but it sure sounds great! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I haven't tried making it with collard greens before. I usually use spinach. I'm definitely going to try your recipe! Mahalo!


(Don't forget to post your poke recipe! It looks really good in the picture above!)


I would never have out these ingredients together...how different and interesting. I've never been to Hawaii. My hubby and I were supposed to go after our wedding 2 months ago but we were not able to for business reasons. We are still planning a trip to your beautiful Hawaii. I cannot wait to try the local cuisine. Does it vary much from island to island?

Please make sure to wash the leaves before doing anything with them. You may want to rinse the salt from the pork back fat as well because it is usually heavely salted.
