Tuluk

Vanuatu · Oceania

Short description: This parcel-style dish uses grated cassava as the starchy casing around a savory filling.
Ingredients: Grated cassava wrapped around beef or pork with onion, coconut milk, banana leaf, salt, and pepper.
Cultural note: It is associated with market food and home cooking where root crops are shaped into filling meals.
Common misconception: It is not a pastry; the wrapper is made from grated cassava rather than flour dough.
