Boiled Taro With Coconut Milk

1. 1

   Scrub the outside of the taro.

2. 2

   Place in a pot with enough water to half cover the taro.

3. 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. 4

   Remove and cool.

5. 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. 6

   Place the coconut milk and the taro cubes into a saucepan and heat thoroughly.

7. 7

   There should be enough milk to just cover the taro.

8. 8

   Taste during cooking to see if taro needs more salt.
