Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g taro roots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 250 g cremini mushrooms
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 250 ml vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Peel and cube the taro roots into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Chop the garlic cloves finely and slice the onion thinly. Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned slightly.
Add the taro cubes to the pan, stirring to combine with the onion, garlic, and mushrooms.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the taro is tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the simmering taro mixture and stir well to thicken the sauce.
Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired level of thickness.
Remove the pan from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Creamy Taro with Mushrooms!
