👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Prepare the taro leaves: Rinse them thoroughly and remove any tough stems. If the leaves are mature, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes to tenderize and remove any itchiness. Drain and pat dry.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Young, tender leaves are preferred for palusami. - 2
In a bowl, combine the coconut cream, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. If using corned beef, add it to the mixture and stir to combine.
- 3
Lay out 3-4 taro leaves, overlapping them slightly to form a base. Spoon a generous amount of the coconut cream mixture (and corned beef, if using) into the center of the leaves.

Carefully wrap the taro leaves around the filling to create a neat parcel. Secure the parcel with a piece of banana leaf or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.
- 5
Place the parcels in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for about 45-60 minutes, or until the leaves are very tender. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 1 hour, or until heated through and bubbling. For an authentic method, cook in an umu (earth oven).

Serve hot, unwrapped from the foil or banana leaf. Palusami is often served as a side dish with staples like taro, breadfruit, or rice.
