Vakalolo (Fiji)
Serves 4
Ingredients
Method
500 g. Cassava, Grated
200 ml. Coconut Milk
100 g. Sugar
1 tbsp. Grated Ginger
Banana Leaves, for Wrapping
In a bowl, mix the grated cassava, coconut milk, sugar, and grated ginger.
Cut the banana leaves into squares (about 20 cm on each side). Place a spoonful of the cassava mixture in the center of each leaf.
Fold the banana leaves around the mixture to form a bundle, and secure with kitchen string.
Steam the bundles for about 1 hour, or until the cassava is cooked and the mixture has set.
Allow to cool before serving. Unwrap the banana leaves to reveal the vakalolo. Enjoy!
