| Go to www.recipesource.com they have 7 recipes there. I have not tried the recipes, but it is a place to start. Recipe circus also has a braised beef recipe that uses taro root. Hope this helps. |

Just a small warning: when making a recipe using grated taro, make sure you have a variety which is free from calcium oxalate crystals... Having a mouthful of crystals is a very painful experience...

| First time in this forum. I use taro like potatoes on stew, added it with sweet potato with thankgiving dinner, use them with potatos with pot roast, add brown sugar vanilla and coconut milk with canned jack fruit bake and serve as dessert. Try these and see if you like them.The leaves are dried and can be used for a lot of things. Bellie |

Hi Bellie my pal!
Hey, I like your tarro dessert recipie! Tell me please, how long do you bake? Do you grate it and then add it?
My husband would LOVE this!
I am interested in the use of tarro leaves too. I never really thought I'd want to eat tarro, but why not? They grow so easily here, and huge. Kids in my neighbourhood call them my giant collard greens! GGG |

| An Indian Taro Recipe: Steam the taro roots with some tumeric and tamarind. When done, peel the skin off and set aside. Saute in oil some red onion with garlic, cumin and mustard seeds. Add tomatoes and let simmer for 10 minutes, then add the steamed taro roots and some chilli powder and cook for another 10 minutes or so and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve hot with rice. I like it with lots of garlic. |

| I substitute taro leaves for spinach leaves in lasagna. You should check out the recipes in Hawaii. Do a search for Sam Choy, Hawaiian Electric and other Hawaiian recipe sites. sam |

| peel the skin of the taro. Steam the mother out of it. Mash it until it looks like a purple mashed potato and then add cooked ham. You can make ice cream out of mashed taro, too. |

| Thanks, I bought a bamboo steamer and cooked chunks of taro in it (on banana leaves). They were good but they kind of soaked up the taste of the bamboo wood; maybe that goes away with use. |

Add water, coconut water, and brown sugar.
Put in baking pan.
Top with butter.
Bake 1 hour in moderate oven (350 degrees for most). You may wish to partially cook the taro before grating. Cut in chunks and boil slightly. Do not overcook. |

When you harvest you gonna get a lot of small ones! Don't throw them away! They are the best ones. Clean them off with your garden hose and boil them in salted water. The cooking time depends on the variety. The small kalo is easy to peal after its been cooked.
One easy way to eat it is to heat op some coconut cream, stir in brown sugar to make a glaze. Toss the cooked and pealed kalo in the glaze and serve.
Don't forget to eat the leaf too! |
