Taro leaves (or Spinach, Cabbage or Silver Beet if none available)
Tin Foil.
Instructions
You will be making large, fist sized parcels, so lay out sheets of tin foil on a baking or oven trays.
Build layers of Taro leaves, like you are going to wrap a large dumpling, or a tasty christmas present. You can experiment with alternating layers of cabbage then silver beet etc.
Chop onions, tomatoes roughly. Spoon a large tablespoon of corned beef into the centre. Spoon some onions and tomatoes on top. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour coconut cream over the corned beef mix, then fold over the leaves so it forms a wrapped ball. Bake at 150 degrees C for about 30 mins, making sure the leaves don't burn. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 mins and take care opening the steamy parcels. The leaves with be soft and will have absorbed the fat from the coconut cream and the corned beef...
