đšâđł Instruktioner
- 1
Prepare the cassava by peeling, washing, and then grating it finely. Squeeze out any excess juice.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the grated cassava with half of the coconut cream and salt. Mix well until evenly coated.
- 3
Prepare the banana leaves by gently heating them over a flame or in hot water to make them pliable. This prevents them from tearing when wrapping.
- 4
Lay out a banana leaf. Place a layer of the cassava mixture in the center. Add a portion of the drained corned beef on top of the cassava. Drizzle some of the remaining coconut cream over the corned beef.
- 5
Cover the corned beef with another layer of the cassava mixture. Wrap the banana leaf tightly to form a neat parcel, ensuring no filling can escape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- 6
You can either steam the parcels for about 1 hour, or bake them in an oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 1 hour, or until the cassava is cooked through and tender.
- 7
Allow the parcels to cool slightly before unwrapping and serving.
