Eddo/Taro
Eddoes, also commonly referred to as taro, are a starchy root. Similar to yam in appearance, these have an interesting nutty flavor with an undertone of potato, waterchesnut, and artichoke flavors. Pronounced (eh-ddo) and (tahr-o) respectively, this root is delicious deep-fried, boiled, roasted or pan-fried. It is also versatile in stews or soups.
- Scrub well (wear gloves) and remove the skin with a peeler. (If you don’t have disposable gloves, coat your hands with cooking oil before peeling.)
- Cut or slice as needed.
- Either use immediately or place in a bowl of cold water.
Store in a cool, dry place for a few days. Do not refrigerate. Use once they are soft.
