    Here in Hawaii the locals make a dish called “Laulau”. They use the leaves to wrap pork, sometimes butterfish is added. It taste amazing. Samoans make a dish called Palusami that is delicious as well! Try to look it up and give it a try. You can also make vegan versions if need be. It’s interesting to me to see how people around the world cook differently. Thank you for naming the dishes. I will try to look them up and try to make them for our family to try! Have a blessed day Sir!

    Hi, chris I really love all your cooking videos...I am Liberian (West African), we cook a dish called Potatoes Leaves. I will love to see you cook and try this dish, it's really nice and has lots of flavor. You can also add any meats or seafood of your choice to this dish. I have the complete recipe for this dish and I can email it to you. By the way, I have a good friend from Trinidad and she loves this when I make it for her.

    Would you not saute the stems first since it is a tougher texture before you cook the leaves similar to how you will cook like collards or Swiss chard or any other green

    We dont eat the stalks, just the leaves and the root (taro). The middle leaf is the youngest one, thats the one you usually eat but when you live in Countries where taro leaves are hard to come by (like I do now) you cant be fussy so eat the older ones aswell.

      I'm growing some here in Florida. They are coming up! So now I realize I don't really know in detail what to do when it's time to eat them. So, here we are! Frankly I'm not going to cry if the leaves are a little ragged, it's so hard to grow ANYTHING, you know? And then of course later there's too much of something. I'm buried in overgrown cassava roots and of course leaves right now. Both are just barely edible with a lot of processing, and I can't keep up at all. This cocoyam business looks a lot more tasty and nice! Cassava leaves are kind of rugged.

      @faithwaite7520 Год назад

      Medical News Today
      Malanga and taro are related but not the same thing. Malanga is part of the genus Xanthosoma, while taro is part of the genus Colocasia.
      Malanga is a starch-rich tuber root vegetable with a rough, bumpy, hairy, brown skin.
      Taro is brown and scaly and rough on the outside, and some taro are purple inside and some are white.
      Malanga is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia and India.
      It has a nutty and earthy flavor with a waxy, starchy consistency when prepared.
      Malanga can be prepared in a variety of ways, such as baking, frying, and stewing. Some people also grind malanga to make flour for baking.
