Ingredients

3 pounds taro, peeled and cubed
2 cups coconut milk
1 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and smashed
1 stalk lemon grass, split
2-inch piece ginger root
2-inch piece galangal root
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Boil the taro in water for 1 hour or until
tender. In another saucepan, combine remaining ingredients over low heat. Cover and let steep while the taro
cooks. Drain the taro and transfer to a mixing bowl. Pass the infused milk through a sieve to remove the
solids and add to the bowl of taro. Mash the taro as you would potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to
taste.
