Lūʻau

Lūʻau, luʻau, laulau, lū, rourou, rukau, fāfā, hāhā, and palusami are all related dishes found throughout Polynesia based on the use of taro leaves as a primary ingredient. While taro is known worldwide as a root vegetable, the leaves with stems can be consumed as well. The base recipe is vegetarian. Most often, coconut milk was added, and later meat or seafood. The texture of the dish ranges from a thick soup to a dense cake.
