Directions

1Wash and chop all veggies into generous bite sized pieces

2Wash luau leaves and cut off stem leaving leaf intact. **You May wish to wear gloves when handling taro leaf as the crystals in uncooked taro root and leaf can irritate skin.

3Place a few pieces of each veggie and other optional fillings in center or luau leaf (about ½-1 cup filling depending on how large you want your lau lau)

4Gently roll/fold being careful not to tear leaf (a little is okay, especially if you’re going to wrap in a ti leaf for steaming).

5Options:

6 Roll in second taro leaf and tie with string or wrap in aluminum foil.

7 Wrap in ti leaf or banana leaf and tie (with or without second taro leaf)

8Steam for 1 ½ hours to 2 ½ hours depending on size of lau lau.

9Serve with poi or brown rice.
