Pork & Peas is one of the dishes locals on Maui love to eat, an influence of Spanish/Filipino, you can find this dish in a few Asian restaurants or strictly Filipino markets. On Maui you can visit Foodland Supermarkets and find it at the deli. Or Paradise Market on Wakea Street in Kahului.
What makes this dish so popular? For one, if you love pork it will make your mouth water, with spices like cinnamon, peppers, bay leaf, vinegar, tomato sauce, green peas. It is a braise, or some will call it a stew. Usually pork shoulder is used with some pork bellies sautéed in oil, and the other ingredients are added in and simmered to perfection.
Served with white, brown, or a fried rice with macaroni salad, this dish makes a perfect plate lunch. If you are out in the Kapalua area, there's a store called the Honolua General Store operated by ABC Stores, and on certain days you'll be able to get a Pork & Peas plate.
