Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Taro root
- 250 grams Mixed mushrooms (such as button, shiitake, and portobello)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth or vegetable broth
Instructions
Peel the taro root and cut it into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, add the taro cubes, and cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
Clean and slice the mushrooms into thick slices or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to release their juices and become golden brown.
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until it reduces slightly.
Stir in the cooked taro cubes, ensuring they are well mixed with the mushrooms and broth.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then remove from heat.
Serve the creamy taro and mushroom mixture in bowls, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
