Saint Lucian Dasheen Fritters - Saint Lucia traditional dish

🧂 재료

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Peel and wash the dasheen, then cut it into small cubes.
2
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
3
Add the dasheen cubes to the pot, along with the thyme leaves. Stir well to coat the dasheen with the butter, onion, and garlic mixture.
4
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the coconut milk into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
5
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the dasheen to simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until it becomes tender.
6
Once the dasheen is cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. The consistency should be thick enough to form into balls.
7
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the dasheen mixture into the oil.
8
Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
9
Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer.
