Quantcast Vegetarian StarJack Johnson Traditional Hawaiian Vegetarian Meal–Veggie Laulau

Byron Bay Bluesfest 2010 - Day 3

Jack Johnson calls himself a flexitarian because he will eat whatever is offered to him outside of home.

When in his own kitchen, however, Jack stays veggie and is fond of a traditional Hawaiian meal that’s wrapped in tea leaves.

From an article in the National Post titled What Is On Jack Johnson’s Menu:

“The thing I like to make, that I usually add to it is Lau Laus, which are a traditional luau meal, where you wrap something in a tea leaf. The traditional way is you do it underground in an imu which is the underground Hawaiian oven. We just use our oven usually for this, but you wrap it in a tea leaf. We do vegetarian ones – you can use fish – but I grow sweet potatoes and taro, or kalo, the Hawaiian word for it. Cut it all up and steam it inside the tea leaf. I like making that, and I grow carrots and onions, chop them all up and put them inside. It’s really good.”

Lauluas also traditionally use pork, so they make a great opportunity to experiment with faux  meats during the next Hawaiian party in your Texas backyard event.

    It’s called ti leaf. It’s not the same as tea leaf. This can of course be confusing because it’s pronounced the same way but your laulau might be hard to keep in tact if you wrap it in tea leaves…
