I made this for dinner tonight. Takihi is a Niuean dish made from layers of sliced taro and paw-paw, topped with coconut cream then covered and baked.

I don't think I cooked it quite long enough, but it was still a rich, filling vegan main that was almost sweet enough to double as dessert.

Here's the original recipe that gave me the idea, in entertaining video format:

Here is again in a PDF, with advice for baking in an electric oven instead of the traditional umu:

Anyone ever tried this, or something like it? How about other Pacific dishes?
