Squid Luau

Squid does the heavy lifting here, with taro leaves rounding it out. A Hawaiian dinner that takes 90 minutes, start to finish. At 365 calories and 20g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Squid
• 2 lb Taro leaves
• 2 cups Coconut milk
• 1 Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Simmer the taro leaves in salted water 45 minutes until completely soft; this step is mandatory, not optional.
2. Soften the onion and garlic, add the coconut milk, and simmer 10 minutes into a fragrant base.
3. Add the squid rings and tentacles; cook just 5 minutes until opaque — rubbery squid means overcooked squid.
4. Fold in the taro leaves, simmer 10 minutes more, and serve over rice with the creamy green sauce.
5. A squeeze of lemon at the table brightens the rich coconut broth beautifully.
