About Boiled Yam with Coconut
The Pacific Islands Cookbook’s boiled yam in coconut cream is a simple preparation of yam pieces, coconut cream and water. Taro leaves form the covering named for this version.
Yam provides the starchy base, while coconut cream gives the dish its coconut character and richness. The cream is diluted with water around the pieces of tuber.
The yams remain in pieces within the coconut mixture rather than forming a grated pudding. This version is served hot, with the yam and coconut forming the centre of the serving.
