IN Fiji it is called Taro and they also eat the leaf: What they do is the use the leaf like you do when you make Dolmathes: people use the graped-vine leaf BUT in Fiji they use the Kolokasi/Taro leaf:
They also fry the Kolokasi: A friend of mine steams it in a steamer and it tastes OK: But like you said with Beef in a stew is the best:
My grand mother also said never cut the Kolokasi with a knife into pieces you are meant to put the knife into is and Break/Snap off the pieces this allow the Koloiasi veins to be penetrated by the cooking:
So Marina when are you making some Kolokasi with meat for us? |
