My ancestors were true low-carbers... it wasn't till the Europeans came along with their sugar canes and pineapples that many of us got fat. Polynesians
[the folks who paddled half the length of the planet to find their island paradise.
Although cattle didn't show up till Captain Vancouver brought them to the islands, Hawaiian paniolos (cowboys) already knew how to stew 'em up! This is
a typical dish cooked in my foremothers pot:

Brown meat in a thick pot. Add about 1 TBSP Hawaiian salt (try to find this or use 2 tsp regular salt plus 2 tsp of cider vinegar) and just enough water to cover. Simmer about 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Let pot cool overnight and remove fat. Reheat and serve. Sometimes cooked luau leaves (green taro plant leaves) are added before serving. Luau leaves can be substituted with fresh spinach- add 1 lb fresh cleaned spinach leaves to the pot about 15 mins before serving. Garnish with thin slices of hot Chile peppers (jalapeno works), slivered green onions or seaweed (limu). This is a very traditional Luau dish.
