Ingredients

  • ½ pound salt butterfish
  • ½ pound pork butt
  • 4 boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon Hawaiian sea salt
  • 8 ti leaves
  • 1 pound taro leaves

Instructions

  • Hawaiian sea salt is a good way to season fish, pork, and poultry. For each of the 4 servings, arrange 2 ti leaves in an X shape on a level surface.
  • Put a quarter of the fish, pork, and chicken in the middle of three or four taro leaves. Place each wrap on a set of ti leaves after tightly wrapping with taro leaves. Use a piece of twine to connect the ends of the ti leaves.
  • Put the bundles in a sizable steamer, and let them cook for three to four hours.
