Kulolo

Taro root does the heavy lifting here, with coconut milk rounding it out. A Hawaiian snack that takes 120 minutes, start to finish. At 500 calories and 3g 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

• 2 lb Taro root
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk
• 1.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Grate the peeled taro fine — wear gloves, raw taro irritates skin.
2. Mix with coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt into a thick, sticky batter.
3. Wrap in ti leaves or foil and steam 90 minutes until dense, dark, and fudgy.
4. Cool completely before slicing; kulolo firms as it rests into chewy, caramel-like squares.
5. Kulolo firms up over 24 hours — it is even better the day after you steam it.
