preparation
1. Peel and cut taro root into ½ inch pieces.
2. In a medium saucepan, put 4 cups of water and taro and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook 20 minutes, or until skewer goes into taro smoothly.
3. When the taro is ready, drain the water and mash it. You don’t have to mash everything liked mashed potatoes. It’s nice to leave some chunks.
4. Meanwhile, in a small/medium saucepan, bring another 2 cups of water to a boil. When boiling, add the tapioca and cook 6 minutes.
5. After 6 minutes, turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let it sit for 10- 15 minutes, or until the pearls are translucent and you can no longer see the white center. Run the tapioca when done under cold water to prevent from overcooking.
6. Add the coconut milk to the taro root and stir until blended.
7. Stir in the tapioca and sugar over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
8. Serve either warm or chilled.
Cooks' note:
Serve the dessert warm during winter months and chilled for summer.
