THE BANYAN TREE AT THE RITZ-CARLTON KAPALUA | Dukkah Recipe

In my quest to find the best of Maui cuisine, I am pleased have the opportunity to share with you a recipe from award-winning Banyan Tree at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua.  While the Banyan Tree location has reopened with a new menu, I am keeping the recipe for their famous Dukkah Dip for you to enjoy.

Strolling through the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, your first stop should be the lanai.  Every December, the hotel lights all of its palm trees with tiny white lights and decorates large trees poolside.  Locals and visitors alike come to the Ritz-Carlton to witness this spectacular sight.  Regardless of the season, this is a spectacular view, and the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua is one of Maui's loveliest hotels.
