Fijian Dalo Lolo
A comforting and traditional Fijian dish where taro (dalo) is slow-cooked in coconut milk until tender and creamy, often served as a side or a light meal.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 1 kg Taro (Dalo)(peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 400 ml Coconut milk(full fat)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Sugar(optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the taro by peeling and cutting it into uniform 1-inch cubes. Ensure all cubes are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- 2
In a large pot or saucepan, combine the cubed taro, coconut milk, and water. Add salt and sugar (if using).
- 3
Place the pot over medium-low heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the taro from sticking to the bottom.
- 4
Cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 30-45 minutes, or until the taro is very tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, creating a creamy consistency. Stir periodically.
- 5
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and sugar if needed. The dish should be creamy and slightly sweet.
- 6
Serve hot as a side dish with fish or meat, or as a light meal on its own.
