Master Chef
Help! I'm officially very frustrated. Yesterday on TV I saw a chef make poke. Blue cheese? You have got to be kidding me. Anyone out there have a traditional, Hawaiian recipe? By poke I mean diced, marinaded, raw ahi. No east meets west nouveau stuff, the kind of stuff you get in a mom & pop place in Hawaii, or even in the grocery store! I've got a request out to a Hawaiian friend who makes the best, but the tuna is in the fridge, and fresh fish waits for no man.. Frustration stems from perusing a half dozen Hawaiian recipe sites and coming up with cakes and other deserts. Gee, it's been 20 years since I lived there, but can't see how raw ahi morphed into a cake!
