Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 (2 -3 lb) taro root
• 1 teaspoon salt
• water
• 1 (8 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk

Recipe

• 1 scrub the outside of the taro.
• 2 place in a pot with enough water to half cover the taro.
• 3 cover and boil for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. (make sure the taro is cooked very well, for the starches can irritate and scratch the throat if not cooked through completely).
• 4 remove and cool.
• 5 peel away the outside skin and chop taro into large cubes. (cooked taro at this point can be mashed and formed into cakes that are delicious sauteed with butter).
• 6 place the coconut milk and the taro cubes into a saucepan and heat thoroughly.
• 7 there should be enough milk to just cover the taro.
• 8 taste during cooking to see if taro needs more salt.
