5/26/12 Basket - Hawaiian Haystacks

Hawaiian Haystacks
Uses from this basket: Carrots, pineapple, coconut, bell pepper
Other produce: Celery



In case this is a new concept for you, the idea behind Hawaiian haystacks is rice, topped with a chicken gravy, and then pretty much whatever else you want to put on it.

 I do my chicken gravy the easy way: 1 cup shredded chicken, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1/2-1 cup of milk (depending how thick you want it).  We'll often buy large boxes of chicken breasts or tenders when they are on sale, then cook them up, shred them, and freeze them so they are really easy to pull out and use for something like this.

This is what we had for toppings:
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Bell pepper
  • Cheese
  • Pineapple
  • Coconut (post to come on how to make your own sweetened coconut--it is delicious!)
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Macadamia nuts
