Ingredients
- 500 grams Taro root
- 250 grams Button mushrooms
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 250 ml Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the taro root into bite-sized pieces, then soak them in cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
Step 2
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme to the pan, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Drain the taro cubes and add them to the pan with the mushrooms. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Pour in the coconut milk and low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cover the saucepan. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the taro root is tender.
Step 8
Once the taro is cooked, stir in the black pepper and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish or a comforting main with your choice of steamed vegetables or a grain like quinoa or rice.
