An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Kālua is a traditional Hawaiian cooking method that utilizes an imu, a type of underground oven. The word "kālua" ("to cook in an underground oven" in the Hawaiian language) may also be used to describe the food cooked in this manner, such as kālua pig or kālua turkey, which are commonly served at lūʻau feasts. The word lūʻau is the Hawaiian name for the taro leaf, which, when young and small resembles cooked spinach after being steamed for a few hours. The traditional lūʻau was eaten on the floor over lauhala mats (leaves of the hala tree woven together).

  • Imu ist die hawaiische Bezeichnung für einen Erdofen oder die darin gegarten Lebensmittel. Diese Methode der Zubereitung wird als kālua bezeichnet, wovon zum Beispiel die Bezeichnung kālua pig oder puaʻa kālua für das auf diese Art gegarte Schwein abgeleitet wird. Dazu wird eine Vertiefung in der Erde mit heißen Steinen ausgelegt. Das Schwein wird in Bananen- und -Blättern eingewickelt, auf die Steine gelegt und mit Erde zugedeckt. Über einen Zeitraum von etwa 9 Stunden wird das Schwein im Imu gebacken. Auch Laulau, eine in Ti-Blättern eingewickelte Mischung aus Rind, Schwein, Huhn oder Fisch mit Tarospitzen, wird im Imu gebacken. Diese Zeremonie ist meist Mittelpunkt des Lūʻau. (de)
  • El imu es un horno de tierra tradicional hawaiano empleado para asar o cocinar al vapor. Consiste en un hoyo o zanja realizado en el suelo que posteriormente se rellena con rocas resistentes al calor, como rocas volcánicas o granito, junto con trozos de madera, los cuales se harán arder. Una vez las piedras se han calentado, las ascuas se retiran y se introducen entre las rocas los alimentos que se pretende cocinar. Tradicionalmente estos alimentos se introducían envueltos en hojas de ti (Cordyline fruticosa), aunque actualmente puede emplearse papel de aluminio para este fin. Las rocas se cubren posteriormente con hojas de platanera, esteras y tierra, y se espera a que los alimentos estén cocinados, pudiendo extraerse éstos a medida que se vayan a consumir. Si se quiere cocinar al vapor, puede introducirse agua a través de una caña de bambú. La técnica de utilización del imu para cocinar se conoce con el nombre hawaiano de . (es)
  • Kālua is a traditional Hawaiian cooking method that utilizes an imu, a type of underground oven. The word "kālua" ("to cook in an underground oven" in the Hawaiian language) may also be used to describe the food cooked in this manner, such as kālua pig or kālua turkey, which are commonly served at lūʻau feasts. The word lūʻau is the Hawaiian name for the taro leaf, which, when young and small resembles cooked spinach after being steamed for a few hours. The traditional lūʻau was eaten on the floor over lauhala mats (leaves of the hala tree woven together). Traditionally, a hardwood fire is built inside a pit large enough to contain the food to be cooked, the stones, and the vegetation used to cover the food. Stones are placed on top of the fire in the pit, taking around two to three hours to reach their maximum temperature. Most important is the selection of stones that contain very little moisture to avoid stones exploding from the steam generated by the heat. Once the stones have become extremely hot, they are spread out over the coals and the pit is lined with vegetation, such as banana trees, that have been pounded to make them pliable. A layer of ti leaves (Cordyline fruticosa) would then be spread over the layer of pounded vegetation and the food to be cooked placed on top. Meat to be cooked would be salted and in the instance of cooking a whole pig, some hot stones would also be placed inside the body cavity to ensure the meat is fully cooked. To maintain even heating and to retain the meat's natural moisture, the meat is covered with more layers of vegetation such as ti and banana leaves, then covered with a layer of soil at least several inches deep ensuring that no steam escapes. The layers of vegetation covering the food must extend past the edges of the pit to ensure the food is not contaminated by the soil it is buried under. The meat is then left to cook in the pit for several hours. When the meat is fully cooked, it is removed from the imu and shredded. Modern adaptations to the traditional cooking method include the use of wet burlap material as a substitute for the vegetation or to reduce the amount of vegetation needed, and also the use of non-galvanized steel chicken wire or mesh wrapped around the food to aid in its removal when cooked. The characteristic flavor of kālua pig is imparted by the smoke from the hardwood but more importantly the use of ti leaves to wrap the meat. The flavor of the ti leaf is what differentiates kālua pig from other methods of cooking a whole hog slowly using a hardwood fire. Kālua pig is a main tourist attraction at many lūʻau, though it is sometimes made using a gas or electric stove with artificial mesquite or kiawe liquid smoke. Other tourist businesses use substitutes instead of vegetation or use an imu pao, an above ground variation of the imu. The term "kālua pork" has been used by Hawaiian cook Sam Choy to describe pork shoulder butt which is rubbed with sea salt, wrapped in ti leaves, and slowly cooked in an oven using liquid mesquite smoke rather than an imu.
