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

Directions

Step 1

Peel the taro root and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the mushrooms and onions.

Step 7

Add the boiled taro cubes to the skillet, stirring them into the creamy mushroom mixture.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot as a main or side dish.
