About Batar Da'an
Darlene Longacre presents batar da’an as a Timorese dish of pumpkin, corn and mung beans. This version pairs fresh corn and pumpkin with onions and garlic.
Olive oil, salt and pepper season the vegetables and beans. The source describes the combination as both sweet and savoury, with the squash and corn central to its character.
The pumpkin becomes tender while the cooking liquid reduces to a small amount. The hearty mixture can accompany a meal or stand on its own, with rice as the listed serving partner.
