今回、お店の方のおすすめカクテルを提供いただきました。見た目もカラフルで可愛い！私はストロベリースクイーズを飲んだのですが、アルコールもそこまで強くなく、お酒ですぐに赤くなってしまう私でも美味しく飲むことができました。カクテルにはマリブココナッツラム、ウォッカ、レモネード、ストロベリーが入っていて、ストロベリーの甘みとココナッツのほのかな香りがマッチしていました。

プラス$10払うとティキ柄のカップで提供してもらえ、なんとそのカップを無料で持ち帰ることも可能です。

Molokai Venison Shepherd's Pie Recipe Chef Ronnie Cooking with Grace Lee on Hawaii News Now

Molokai Venison Shepherd's Pie Recipe

 St. Patrick's Day is coming up and if you're looking for a unique twist on traditional Irish fare, look no further than Molokai Venison Shepherd's Pie. This dish, created by Ronnie Nasuti of Tiki's Grill &  Bar, is a savory blend of fresh ingredients and game meat, making it the perfect main course for any St. Patrick's Day celebration.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of molokai venison
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, etc.)
  • 2 cups of kale or collard greens
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
  • 2 tablespoons of green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of chicken or beef stock
  • 1/2 cup of frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup of carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup of fire-roasted corn

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic, tomato paste, and fresh herbs to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped molokai venison to the skillet and cook until browned.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash the boiled potatoes and add salt, pepper, and green onions.
  5. Add the peas, carrots, and fire-roasted corn to the venison mixture in the skillet and stir to combine.
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until combined.
  7. Pour in the chicken or beef stock and continue to stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  9. Transfer the venison mixture to an oven-safe dish and spread the mashed potatoes over the top, covering the mixture completely.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the mashed potatoes are lightly browned.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Molokai Venison Shepherd's Pie.

This Molokai Venison Shepherd's Pie is a great alternative to traditional lamb-based shepherd's pie, and the use of venison adds a unique flavor that is sure to impress. The venison used in this recipe is from Molokai, where hunting is allowed due to the large population of deer on the island. The venison has a mild flavor, but if you prefer a stronger game taste, simply add more herbs or seasonings to the dish.

The creamy, gravy-like sauce is made from the combination of flour and chicken or beef stock, and the fresh herbs, garlic, and kale add a touch of green to the dish, making it the perfect meal to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Serve with a cold beer or a glass of red wine and enjoy a delicious and unique twist on traditional Irish fare.

Tiki's Grill & Bar has been a staple in the Honolulu restaurant scene for the past 20 years, offering a unique combination of good food, live music, and breathtaking views. Bill Tobin, one of the three co-founders of Tiki's, recently sat down with KHON2's Howard Dashefsky to share the story behind the restaurant's success.

Tiki's was founded by three friends who attended the University of Hawaii together. They wanted to create a place where they could enjoy good food, drinks, and company. Little did they know that they would eventually turn their dream into a successful business that has been serving the local community for two decades.

Like most restaurants, Tiki's has faced its fair share of challenges. However, the owners were quick to learn from their mistakes and make changes that helped the business thrive. From the get-go, Tiki's was busy, and it continued to grow as the years went by. The restaurant has survived changes in tourism, the COVID-19 pandemic, and fluctuations in the labor market.

What sets Tiki's apart is its focus on providing a fun and relaxed atmosphere for its customers. The restaurant offers a front-row seat to a nearly perfect view of the sunset, providing a unique dining experience. Live music adds to the ambiance, making Tiki's the perfect spot to enjoy a night out with friends or a romantic dinner with a loved one.

In conclusion, Tiki's Grill and Bar is a prime example of a business that has stood the test of time, overcoming challenges and adapting to change. Its longevity is a testament to the hard work and dedication of its owners, as well as its commitment to providing its customers with a memorable experience.

In 2021, Tiki's Grill and Bar added a pop-up Christmas bar in the lava tube, offering a unique and festive experience for customers during the holiday season. The pop-up bar was a hit and added an extra layer of fun and excitement to the already popular restaurant.

Visitors to the Christmas bar were able to enjoy holiday-themed drinks, live music, and a festive atmosphere, all while surrounded by the beautiful natural surroundings of the lava tube. The pop-up bar was a perfect addition to Tiki's already impressive offerings and showed the restaurant's commitment to providing new and exciting experiences for its customers.

Hawaii businesses band together to bring high school students safe alternative to prom

Back in April of 2021, Billy V of Hawaii News Now conducted an interview with Michael Miller, the Director of Operations at Tiki's Grill & Bar. Despite the Department of Education not allowing proms in Hawaii's high schools, local businesses have come together to put on a prom-like experience for high school students.



Tiki's Grill & Bar, located in Hawaii, is offering a special prom package that includes oceanfront seating, a four-course meal, and a photo to take home. The menu features a range of delicious options, from coconut shrimp as an appetizer to a hot molten lava cake for dessert. They have taken measures to ensure the safety of the students, such as spacing the tables out six feet apart.

This effort is part of  , an Instagram page dedicated to bringing together different vendors who offer a variety of services, from flowers to transportation, to help make the prom experience as memorable as possible. Michael encourages interested students to visit Tiki's Grill & Bar's website, tikisgrill.com, for more information.

It's heartwarming to see the community come together to make prom a reality for high school students, even in the midst of a pandemic. #HIPROM2021 is a shining example of how the power of community can bring people together and make something special happen.
