Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams taro root
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 200 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 200 grams button mushrooms, sliced
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Peel the taro root and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Boil a pot of water, add a pinch of salt, and cook the taro cubes for 10 minutes or until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced shiitake and button mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to release moisture and become golden brown.
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the mushrooms and onions.
Add the boiled taro cubes to the skillet, stirring them into the creamy mushroom mixture.
Season the mixture with thyme, salt, and black pepper, and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot as a main or side dish.
