Grilled Chicken, Peaches and Jalapenos with Basil, Honey Butter and CHIBA SURF SALT

During my time on the north shore of Oahu,  back in the day that is. I surfed, slept and ate basically two things. Tuna Poke and Loco Moco. Loco Moco is a ground beef patty, a fried egg, rice and brown gravy. If I had an extra long session or an extra heavy beat down, I would get a double loco moco, which is everything mentioned times two. It’s not for the faint of stomach.

Fast forward to the ripe age of 41. I must eat better than ever to stay afloat on my surfboard so I conjured up this…a fairly healthy version of the loco moco.

Here it is-

Grilled turkey burger glazed with Indonesian soy sauce

A farm egg fried in olive oil

Jasmine Rice

Red onions braised in cider then grilled

Cherry tomatoes marinated in mango vinegar

Sliced watermelon

Chopped cilantro

Waikiki Surf Salt

Ah now all I need is a Matsumoto Shave Ice!

Here is a simple baked potato I split in half and rubbed with olive oil and pepper. Cook it flesh side down at 375 for about 50 minutes.

Then combine 2 tbl Kirra (or other) Surf Salt with 2 tea olive oil. Spread this over potato and garnish with arugula tossed in a bit of good balsamic vinegar

This is great by itself or served with lamb chops, steak or pork.
