🧂 Ingredienti
- 12 large Taro leaves(trimmed of tough stems)
- 400 g White fish fillets(such as snapper or cod, finely minced)
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4-6 large Banana leaves(wilted over heat for flexibility)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the minced fish, coconut cream, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 2
Blanch the taro leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften them. Drain and pat dry.
- 3
Lay a banana leaf flat. Place a taro leaf on top, shiny side down. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the fish mixture onto the center of the taro leaf.
- 4
Fold the sides of the taro leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly like a small parcel. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- 5
Repeat with the remaining taro leaves and filling. Wrap each taro leaf parcel inside a banana leaf for extra protection and flavor.
- 6
Arrange the parcels in a steamer basket, ensuring they don't overlap too much. Steam over simmering water for 40-45 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the taro leaves are tender.

Carefully unwrap the parcels and serve hot.
