Finally gave in.
I didn't desire to brand anything that required lautalo (taro leaves) because I can't larn those where I live. And I wanted to last equally true-blue-baby-I-love-you to Samoan food. When electronic mail requests came inwards for palusami , taro leaves baked alongside kokosnoot milk , I faithfully replied "No tin do. Cannot source genuine ingredients. Over as well as out."
But at that topographic point comes a fourth dimension - a 'defining moment' inwards Oprah-ese - when yous merely select to confront facts: sometimes yous select to substitute.
When koko samoa is unavailable , yous purpose cocoa powder; when coconuts don't grow inwards your dorsum yard , achieve for a can; when yous can't afford butter , squelch an avocado; when yous got no candy , chew on around saccharide cane...I could become on.
So I've used spinach inwards house of lautalo. Actually , spinach is non a bad substitute for taro leaves. It's merely non equally skilful equally the original. Once you've had the existent bargain , it gives yous a nutrient retentiveness that is difficult to overwrite.
The next recipe makes a quick , satisfying dinner as well as I haven't met a unmarried someone on public who doesn't similar it.
