👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
If using fresh taro leaves, wash them thoroughly and blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. If using frozen, thaw and drain.
💡 Profitipps: Blanching helps to remove any potential bitterness from the taro leaves. - 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

💡 Profitipps: Ensure the taro leaves are well distributed. - 5
Pour in the coconut milk and water (if using), ensuring the leaves are mostly submerged. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the taro leaves are tender.
💡 Profitipps: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - 7
Gently add the fish pieces to the pot. Stir carefully to incorporate them into the taro leaf mixture. Cover and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
💡 Profitipps: Avoid over-stirring once the fish is added to prevent it from breaking apart too much. - 8
Stir in the lemon juice just before serving.
