Fijian Taro Leaf and Corned Beef Bake
Palusami-Inspired
A simplified, oven-baked version of the traditional Fijian Palusami. Tender taro leaves (rourou) are layered with a savory filling of corned beef, onions, and creamy coconut milk, then baked until the leaves are wilted and the flavors have melded beautifully. This dish offers a comforting taste of Fijian home cooking.

Prepare the taro leaves: If the stems are thick, trim them. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 1-2 minutes to soften them and reduce any itchiness. Drain and pat dry.

- โIf fresh taro leaves are unavailable, large spinach or Swiss chard leaves can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be different.
- โFor a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a small amount of finely chopped tomato to the corned beef mixture.
- โEnsure the corned beef is well-drained to avoid a watery filling.
