Roman created Kolohe Kai as a teenager, wanting to spread aloha through a positive message with his upbeat song lyrics and infectious beats. Kolohe Kai literally means \u201crascal waters,\u201d and he draws inspiration from the beauty of Hawaii every day. <\/p>\n<p>Kolohe Kai recently was nominated in the 2015 Best Reggae Album category at the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards for its third album <em>Paradise<\/em>, which features 10 original songs that were conceived during a trip to Tahiti. <\/p>\n<p>Roman wants to share his optimism with the world and says, \u201cI want people to feel like they can listen to my lyrics when they\u2019re going through a hard time. My goal as a writer is to make people smile and encourage them to look to the right sources for strength. The music of today is not as clean and positive as it should be, and so I hope my music stands out as different.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Kolohe Kai is set to release a new EP, consisting of five original songs, early this summer, and it will be another installment of positivity and encouragement celebrating our beautiful island home. Check for updates at kolohekaimusic. com, or find Roman on Facebook at facebook.com\/ kolohekai. <\/p>\n<p>Here Roman shares with <em>MidWeek<\/em> readers one of his favorite recipes from his tutu. What is more comforting than a big pot of chicken soup? You could serve this as a main dish meal with some crusty rolls and a green salad. If you want less fat, use skinless whole chicken breasts instead of thighs. <\/p>\n<p><strong>ROMAN\u2019S TUTU\u2019S CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an easy recipe. Just add amounts of vegetables you like.<br \/>\n\u2022 12 cups broth (vegetable or low-sodium<br \/>\nchicken)<br \/>\n\u2022 8-10 chicken thighs (skin removed)<br \/>\n\u2022 1 chopped onion<br \/>\n\u2022 3\/4 cup chopped celery<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tablespoon chopped parsley<br \/>\n\u2022 salt, to taste<br \/>\n\u2022 pepper, to taste<\/p>\n<p>Add enough water to cover chicken, and fill at least half the pot. Bring to boil, then simmer with vegetables for one-and-one-half hours. When cool, put in refrigerator overnight. The next day skim off all fat from the top of the pot. Remove chicken from the pot, take meat off the bone and break meat apart. Discard fat and bones. Put meat aside.<\/p>\n<p>Bring broth to boil and add:<br \/>\n\u2022 4 cups chopped carrots<br \/>\n\u2022 4 cups chopped potatoes<br \/>\n\u2022 1 small bag frozen mixed vegetables<\/p>\n<p>Simmer until tender.<\/p>\n<p>Add the chicken with:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 1 15-ounce can whole tomatoes (mash<br \/>\ninto smaller pieces)<br \/>\n\u2022 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce (may use lowsodium<br \/>\nor no-sodium)<br \/>\n\u2022 1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)<br \/>\n\u2022 1 to 2 teaspoons basil<br \/>\n\u2022 more salt and pepper, if needed<br \/>\nSimmer 5 more minutes, then it\u2019s all done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roman De Peralta grew up enjoying the surf and sand, so it\u2019s no surprise that the themes of his music..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heart-y-chef","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
