Ingredients:

2-2.5 pounds taro (or spinach)

1 can coconut milk

1 to 2 tabelspoons of sugar (to taste)

1 tablespoon salt

1 pound diced squid, octopus, or chicken (bite size pieces, squid and octopus shrink a little)

Instructions

Chop taro into small pieces (wear gloves if you have sensitive skin)

Add to large pot with water to cover and boil for 1.5 to 2 hours until taro leaves are soft and mushy.

Drain taro in colander

Add taro to clean pot with coconut milk, sugar and salt and squid (or octopus or chicken)

Simmer on med to high heat for thirty minutes

When it's done it should look like green mush with bits of squid and should taste savory creamy with a little sweetness.

mmmmm enjoy

*If substituting spinach, cook down separately and drain all liquid. In a clean pot add the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and squid (or octopus or chicken) and let these cook until your squid, octopus or chicken are cooked. Then add spinach until combined.

I love this as a side dish with lau lau, poi, lomi salmon and Japanese white rice.
