Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 (12 ounce) can corned beef (New Zealand brands preferred)
- 8 ounces frozen package coconut milk, thawed
- aluminum foil, and or banana leaf, for wrapping
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash and remove the stems from the lu'au leaves.
- Chop the onion and tomato.
- Thaw or make the coconut milk.
- Layer two or three leaves in the palm of your hand.
- Place a heaping tablespoon or so of onion and tomato into the center of the leaves.
- Top with about 2 heaping tablespoons of corned beef (one can will make about 5-6 packets).
- Ladle about 1/4 cup of coconut milk on top of it all.
- Wrap the lu'au leaves into a bundle and then wrap and secure with banana leaf or aluminum foil.
- Place the lupulu in a shallow pan and bake for about 1 hour.
- Peek into the bundles to make sure the lu'au leaves are thoroughly cooked and a dark, soft green color. (This is important, as raw taro leaves irritate the skin and throat when not fully cooked).
- Cook longer if necessary.
- Remove from the aluminum foil and serve hot with whatever sounds nice--rice, yams, taro, etc.
