ALOHA! Our LunchBreakLIVE guest chef TODAY on JaneUnChained LIVE is the vivacious Hollan Hamid, known as Hollan Hawaii, a Hawaiian-based vegan chef, Cordon Bleu-trained, former restaurant owner, health advocate and mother of three. Watch live while she makes BBQ tofu and cauliflower, over coconut rice with sautéed kale! This is one of her delicious recipes from her easy to prepare, the beach-inspired book “Good Food Gratitude!” Can’t wait to try making this dish at home!

Hollan takes us away to paradise as she shows us how to make this super simple yet filling recipe in her beautiful home in Hawaii! Her kids absolutely love this recipe because of its sweet tangy barbecue flavor! Hollan recommends using all roasted cauliflower instead of tofu if you don’t eat soy or if you have an allergy like Hollan. Hollan shows us how to prepare the cauliflower, steam the kale, and make the coconut cream rice. Once it’s all ready with a little help of LunchBreakLIVE magic, Hollan coats the cauliflower with barbecue sauce and makes it pretty on a plate!
