My culinary creation with Hawaiian local produce...

After a whole day of shopping at the farmer's market, this is my creation....Let me introduce to you, the ingredients to my madness!

Green papaya, Singkamas and Honey Crisp Apple:

 Sweet purple yams:

Fresh-caught Mahi filet:

 Voila! My pan-seared Mahi-Mahi with a guava glaze reduction, on top of a purple sweet yam mash. I made the salad out of green papaya, honey crisp apple and Singkamas (sweet white radish), cilantro, with a little romaine lettuce for some colour. I made the vinaigrette out our rice vinegar, olive oil, calimansi and lime juice, macadamia nut honey and guava nectar. It was delicious!

  1. That look soooooooooooooo good! When you come visit us on the Island again, you'll have to cook us something yummy with the local produce here! We always use organic, fresh, local produce (mainly because we A: Live on a farm and B: Live on an Island)! It would be neat to have a "Cook off" or "The Iron Chefs of Manitoulin" when you're here! LOL! xoxo
