AUNTIE IME'S FA'ALIFU TARO (SAMOAN TARO IN COCONUT ONION SAUCE) RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:
- Peel taro while under running water or it can irritate the skin. Place peeled and quartered taro root in a saucepan, cover with water and heat until boiling. Then simmer until fork-tender. Prepare fa'alifu sauce by combining all onion and coconut milk, and heat over medium heat. If you like a very thin coating of coconut sauce, first season the coconut milk with salt. After draining your taro simply pour on the coconut sauce. If you like it thicker (we do) Drain the taro but leave them in the saucepan. Pour the coconut mixture over the taro and boil this for 5 minutes or until the onions are cooked. Be careful not to overcook your taro.
BOILED TARO WITH COCONUT MILK
This is a very common way to prepare Taro, as a side to many Tongan dishes. You may need more than one can of unsweetened coconut milk to properly cover the taro. If you cannot find the unsweetened kind, you can used a couple of thawed packages of the unsweetened kind. Oftentimes, I will not even transfer the taro to a saucepan, but will instead keep it in a pot, and drain some of the water. Then I will pour in the coconut milk. Fijian taro (the green kind)is the yummiest, if you can get your hands on it ;)

Steps:
- Scrub the outside of the taro.
- Place in a pot with enough water to half cover the taro.
- Cover and boil for about 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. (Make sure the taro is cooked very well, for the starches can irritate and scratch the throat if not cooked through completely).
- Remove and cool.
- Peel away the outside skin and chop taro into large cubes. (Cooked taro at this point can be mashed and formed into cakes that are delicious sauteed with butter).
- Place the coconut milk and the taro cubes into a saucepan and heat thoroughly.
- There should be enough milk to just cover the taro.
- Taste during cooking to see if taro needs more salt.
SAMOAN PALUSAMI
Palusami is a main dish from Samoa made with coconut milk. In the islands of Samoa, we use taro leaves and the Samoan corn-beef but here in America, my family can not live with out it so we use other substitute you can buy at the grocery store.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Make a layer of spinach leaves in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with some of the corned beef, then keep repeating layers of spinach and corned beef until you run out of spinach. Don't worry about how full the dish is because the spinach will shrink as it cooks. Pour both cans of coconut milk over the dish, pressing the leaves down with a spoon. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until spinach has completely wilted and the sauce is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

15 TRADITIONAL SAMOAN RECIPES - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (1)Published 2021-04-23Category Recipe Roundup
- Palusami (Main Dish with Corned Beef and Coconut Milk) If you’re looking for a filling, “stick to your ribs” main dish, consider palusami. It’s a baked dish that combines the rich, savory flavors of corned beef, sauteed onions, minced garlic, and soy sauce with the sweetness of coconut milk and the earthiness of spinach.
- Fa’alifu Fa’i (Green Banana in Savory Coconut Sauce) This island favorite isn’t too difficult to make. Start by boiling green bananas for about 10 minutes and making a sauce with coconut cream, water, crushed onions, and salt.
- Coconut Rice. Coconut rice is a Samoan staple that’s served with most meals. It’s super easy to make, requiring only three ingredients and about 30 minutes to cook.
- Samoan Chicken and Coconut Rice. Samoan chicken is best when cooked in a Dutch oven. It has a thick, bold taste thanks to the dark soy sauce, garlic, onions, and ginger.
- Pani Popo (Samoan Coconut Rolls) These delicious dinner rolls are another staple of Samoan fare, and they definitely find that perfect sweet/savory balance.
- Sapa Sui (Samoan Chop Suey) Recipe. This dish puts a Samoan twist on the traditional chop suey recipe. The recipe calls for chicken, but you can add a different protein if you want, or you can leave out the meat altogether and make it vegetarian-friendly.
- Panikeke (Samoan Pancakes) This recipe is straightforward and easy to follow. Once you’re comfortable with it, you may want to add other ingredients – cinnamon, nuts, fruit, etc.
- Kale Moa (Samoan Chicken Curry) Once finished, the consistency of this dish is almost like a thick, hearty stew. For that reason, I like to serve it over rice when it’s time to eat.
- Boiled Taro With Coconut Milk. Boiled taro is a bit like boiled sweet potatoes. You’ll make it with coconut milk, which makes it sweet, and add in enough salt to give it that sweet and salty combo that never fails to delight the taste buds.
- Samoan Watermelon Drink. This fruity drink requires less than10 ingredients and less than 10 minutes to fix. It combines all the tasty tropical flavors of coconut, watermelon, and pineapple with the tang of lemon juice.

SAMOAN PALUSAMI, OR A SEXIER CREAMED SPINACH - MY KITCHEN ...
From mykitchenlittle.com
- In a large skillet set over medium high heat, add the olive oil and when it’s hot, add the onion. Season with a little salt and pepper and cook until tender; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add the spinach, coconut milk, and cream cheese (making sure the spinach is as squeezed and drained of its excess water as possible). Cook, stirring, until the cream cheese has fully melted. Add the red pepper and the nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If it looks a little thick, you can thin it out with water, milk, half and half, heavy cream, or more coconut milk (you get the idea). Top with the cheeses and place under the broiler until bubbly, golden brown and crusty; about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.
15 TRADITIONAL SAMOAN DESSERTS - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
- Pani Popo (Samoan Coconut Rolls) Pani popo, also known as Samoan coconut rolls, are immensely popular. I started this list with them because they perfectly exemplify the Samoan tendency to serve sweet and savory desserts.
- Panikeke (Samoan Pancakes) Samoan pancakes resemble hush puppies more than actual pancakes, but they’re sweet and airy. This recipe is for basic Samoan pancakes.
- Boiled Taro With Coconut Milk. Unless you live on or frequently visit islands or other tropical locations, you may have never tried taro (sometimes called ‘kalo’).
- Samoan Watermelon Drink. If you could pick up the Hawaiian islands, throw them in a blender, and pour it in a glass, it would taste like the Samoan watermelon drink.
- Half Moon Pies. These thick, pineapple-filled pies are warm and moist, and they have the most amazing crusts, thanks to the addition of coconut milk into the dough.
- Coconut Caramel Bread (Fa’ausi) Fa’ausi is one of the most popular desserts in Samoa. There, some people use taro root as the base for their fa’ausi, but coconut bread is also popular.
- Suafa’i (Samoan Bananas in Coconut Cream) This dessert has a pudding-like consistency and tastes strongly of bananas. It requires only four ingredients – coconut milk, bananas, water, and tapioca – unless you like it a little sweeter and want to add extra sugar.
- Samoan Poi (Mashed Bananas in Coconut Cream) This Samoan sweet is similar in consistency and taste to the above-listed suafa’i. However, instead of tapioca, you’ll use a splash of vanilla and add in a little lemon or lime zest.
- Samoa Cookies. This is one dessert that everyone knows well, and I’m delighted to tell you that if you love the Girl Scout’s Samoas cookies, you’ll love this homemade version just as much.
- Samoan Banana Cake. Remember that thing I said about Samoan desserts being light, refreshing, and not too heavy? That doesn’t apply here. This cake is total decadence, and it’s incredible.
