Hi, Kristi in the Rada kitchen, and here's a neat little garnish I'm going to show you how to make for your next Hawaiian themed party.
For the base, you're going to use a medium to large size potato. I'm going to use the Rada Utility Knife, and we're going to slice that in half. So you just slice it in half crosswise, that way you have two bases.
Then you're going to take just a regular carrot, and with the paring knife, kind of decide what height you want it, you can make them different heights. I'm going to take about an inch, inch and a half off of each end.
You'll want the larger part of the carrot on the bottom. Then here's a trick I do, is put in a toothpick first, and center it, and you just push the carrot right on top.
There you have the stem of your palm tree, and now with a green pepper, this is going to be the top. So I'm going to cut the end off first, and you can clean out the insides. So we're going to make three palms, so I'm just going to start where the crease is, and cut out to there, and then where the other crease is.
Now don't cut all the way to the center because you need that. You want to start probably an inch out, and then again and you'll make another diagonal cut. Then again.
So now, just like on the bottom, I'm going to put the toothpick in the center of the carrot. This will be too long, so you'll want to break it off about a quarter inch up. And then you just put your palm on there. This is a cute, easy garnish for your next Hawaiian Luau party.
