For his take on this Hawaiian classic, Chef Armando slow-roasts tamarind-marinated pork shoulder inside fresh banana leaves until it’s meltingly fork-tender, then pairs a hearty portion with sweet, tangy pineapple salsa. It’s a perfectly refreshing contrast to the smoky meat. Sautéed string beans and fluffy Jasmine rice infused with savory tamari sauce and fried garlic complete a meal that’s like taking a tropical vacation any night of the week.
