This is an easy and ono meal inspired by the famous coconut and luau dish brought to us from our Samoan friends! Crock pot meals are the best for busy, weekday meals and although it may not look the most "pretty" it sure does win in the taste category!
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
2 cans corned beef (Palm brand because it has large meat chunks)
2 cans coconut milk
1 bag taro leaves (about 20 leaves, rinsed)
1 onion, diced
Optional: 1 package imitation crab, chopped into large chunks
2 cans coconut milk
1 bag taro leaves (about 20 leaves, rinsed)
1 onion, diced
Optional: 1 package imitation crab, chopped into large chunks
Directions
1. In crock pot lay half of the taro leaves on the bottom.
2. Add in the 2 cans corned beef, onion, 1 can coconut milk, and imitation crab, if desired.
3. Layer on top the rest of the leaves facing downward. Tuck in leaves so nothing will hang out from under lid.
4. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. If possible, midway through cooking press down the leaves into the liquid. Remember, undercooked luau leaves will feel miserable on your throat!
5. Half an hour before serving, add another can of coconut milk.
6. Serve hot with rice!
