Sela's Pineapple Pie

Wed, 18 Dec 2002 20:04:33 -0500

This is a classic from the Friendly Islands. It makes a huge amount but I tend to double the recipe, use a roasting dish as the pan...and it all goes. Great for big families, pot luck dinners. A Tongan treasure. -- posted by Missy Wombat

A Tongan fruit drink which can be made from any fruit although vi, mangoes and mandarins make a good variation on the recipe here. -- posted by Missy Wombat

Palm Grove Papaya Salad

Thu, 05 Jun 2003 20:13:06 -0400

My toddler went beserk over this vegetarian salad on offer at the Palm Grove Resort in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Shirley, the owner, was kind enough to share the recipe. Very simple, very quick and as my toddler says..."Nummy, dicious (Yummy, delicious)...more please!" -- posted by Missy Wombat

Ginger Pineapple Plum Chutney

Tue, 02 Sep 2003 20:04:24 -0400

Great with fish. I invented this to go with some basa fillets we cooked on the Japanese smoker. I used the leftovers to liven up a monotonous coleslaw. -- posted by Picholine

Breakfast Club Smoothie

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 19:59:42 -0400

Named after the movie because on their own, each of the fruits used would be rejected, but together they make a popular combination! (amounts are approximate--use whatever you have) -- posted by Picholine

Tahitian Sweet Potatoes With Fei (bananas)

Tue, 13 Jul 2004 20:00:20 -0400

Spicy and creamy without being overly sweet. I used 2 tbsp. curry paste and I think 4 Thai chiles and it was moderately spicy. That might be too hot for some, so cut back if you don't want it to be hot. I served this with "Thai Marinated Pork with Dipping Sauce- recipe 81667" and "Poat Dot - Cambodian Grilled Corn recipe 38475" and it made a wonderful dinner. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Sue L

Prize-winning Polynesian Pork over Rice

Thu, 29 Jul 2004 19:59:56 -0400

I recently inherited my Great Aunt's recipe collection. This is a recipe from her recipe box that she clipped out of the Chicago Tribune. It had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe prize." From the splatters on the clipping, I imagine my Aunt enjoyed this one. These days,I might try browning the meat in a little olive oil instead of the bacon drippings. Despite the name, I doubt this is a traditional Polynesian dish, but rather is one inspired by Polynesian cuisine. -- posted by HeatherFeather

Hawaiian Honeymoon Cake

Sat, 07 Aug 2004 19:59:36 -0400

This recipe came about as I searched for a recipe for my future sister-in-law's Hawaiian-themed bridal shower. I found several recipes that sounded good, but not quite right, so I combined and modified them to make this one. This is a very moist cake that is somewhat Twinkie-like in flavor (if Twinkies had coconut!). The fruit is pulverized and while it adds to the flavor of the cake, you really can't pinpoint that there's fruit in it. I winged the frosting recipe, and it came out good. This makes a thick and custardy frosting, and the fruit is more perceptable here. If you prefer a lighter and fluffier frosting, add in more Cool Whip. The unflavored gelatin keeps the frosting firmer longer. -- posted by Vino Girl

Tropical Shrimp Paella

Sat, 28 Aug 2004 19:58:59 -0400

I made this for the first time last night on an almost dare, my cooking skills are not amazing, I am not sure where the recipe originates, my friend gave it to me, anyway it was amazing, to me anyway! It looks difficult and lengthy but it really is not, just takes time to get it together but I love chopping. Prep and cooking time is estimated. -- posted by Jellyqueen

Alan Wong's Pineapple-Mango-Macadamia Nut Relish

Wed, 15 Dec 2004 20:00:26 -0500

This relish is so good, our friends have been known to beg us to allow them keep the leftovers. Serve with grilled fish, chicken, or even by itself as a salad. The relish can be used immediately, but I like to refrigerate it for an hour or two to allow the flavors to mingle. You can be pretty liberal with the hot sauce because the pineapple and mango balance the fire, but use caution if you use habanero peppers together with an extreme sauce such as Dave's Insanity. The original recipe was published in The Seattle Times c. 1993 -- posted by brianl

Polynesian Kabobs on Rice

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 10:21:23 -0400

These always turn out on the grill. I did them under the broiled and they were good but the favor is better on the grill. We liked it with a spicy sausage the combination of the pineapple and the hot sausage go very nice together. -- posted by Dancer^

Thick and Rich Pina Coladas

Sun, 24 Apr 2005 20:38:59 -0400

If you so desire, you can add 1 Tbls. creme de bananes along with the rum. I prefer to leave out both and use the vodka. -- posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)

'ohana Breakfast Bread

Fri, 12 Aug 2005 14:37:15 -0400

Adapted from a delicious bread served at Disney's Polynesian Resort. Ohana means "family". The pineapple and coconut give it a truly tropical taste! I have found using the food processor makes the dough fool-proof, and I mix my yeast mixture in a large Pyrex measure so it is easier to pour into the processor. -- posted by Chef Luvfood

Iced Banana Cream

Prepare Banana Dressing about 2 hours in advance and refrigerate. A very pretty presentation that can be served as a side salad, light lunch, or snack. Feel free to sub fruits if one listed is not available or not to your liking. -- posted by Brenda.

Coconut Cream Pudding With Cinnamon

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 23:52:00 -0400

I started to make a vanilla cream pudding and then decided to add coconut and cinnamon. Rich and creamy. You may add bananas if you wish. It is a good filling for a cream pie or just a pudding with garnish if you wish. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Watermelon Mai Tai

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:31:25 -0500

To make this drink suitable for non drinkers, omit alcohol and increase the pineapple juice to 1 cup. I like to add the ice to the blender also..n drink it like a slushy. -- posted by Stardustannie

Hawaiian Chili

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:33:54 -0400

This is a great alternative to a traditional chili. It is especially great for Spring and Summer as it is much lighter and a bit sweet and spicy. It is very easy to make and can even be done on a camping trip as the ingredients (except for the cheese and bread) are all canned or dry. I actually dreamed about this recipe, woke up the next day and wrote it down. I have never found a similar chili so I consider this a one of a kind creation. I love it for lunch or supper, especially with a slice of swiss cheese melted on top and slice of buttered french bread. It is even better the second day as all the flavors get a chance to meld together. -- posted by clownes

South Pacific Chicken Strips With Guava Dipping Sauce

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:38:18 -0500

This hot appetizer is made of chicken strips marinated in soy sauce, pineapple juice, passion fruit juice and ginger. I made this for the Tapas party my friend was going to have. Just a different twist on things! -- posted by Manami

Grilled Pineapple With Basil and Mint

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:16:43 -0500

My favorite thing thing to make on the grill is pineapple. Grilling fresh pineapple brings out the sweetness of it. This recipe really takes it up to another level in flavors. It is fancy enough for guest and easy enough to make anytime. I like it with spiced rum too. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Mangoes Foster With Creme Fraiche (By Bobby Flay)

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:07:46 -0400

I first saw Bobby Flay prepare this on the Food Network in 2007. It was a featured recipe during a segment called "Boy Meets Grill" in the episode called Dinner on the Grill. It looked so good so I just had to try it. It was an immediate hit with my family. I have made this on the grill (as Bobby Flay prepared it) as well as on my stovetop, and it comes out fantastic each time. -- posted by NorthwestGal

Polynesian Curry

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:29:20 -0400

My mom used to make this delicious Polynesian recipe when I was a kid. I just love the different toppings you can add to this basic coconut curry base. You can make it as spicy or as sweet as you want. -- posted by Krista Roes

Pacific Pork Roast With Pineapple

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:58:21 -0400

I've had this recipe forever, and had forgotten all about it. Dug it out when I remembered it, cuz it is sooo good. It takes a while, but it's not difficult. Great combination of flavors! There's usually extra stuffing...just bake it in a dish along side. If you like a little heat, use a hotter pepper like an Anaheim chile, or New Mexico chile. -- posted by Charmie777
