:

Ingredients:

1 kg Taro, peeled and cut in cubes

70 gr chopped onion

1 lt water

500 ml fresh cream

1 tbsp butter

Salt, as needed

Ground white pepper, as needed

Method: Heat the butter over medium heat in a sauce pot in order to melt it. Add the onions and sweat them, then add the taro. Cook the taro while stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Add the water and increase the heat until it boils. When the water boils, reduce the heat to a minimum and continue cooking until the taro melts. Strain the taro and discard the excess water. Add the taro in the sauce pot again and add the fresh cream. Continue cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Mash the taro in a blender or a food processor and strain again in order to remove any small bits that didn’t melt . Add salt and pepper to taste.
