CHEF FLOWER'S TURKISH CYPRIOT TARO CASSEROLE - KIBRISLI KOLOKAS
This is a traditional Cypriot Turkish recipe, that past generations have been cooking. My mother is away so my friend has given me the recipe. *** Thanks Bet's *** I think my mother also uses diced celery ribs but I can't be sure. Note: There are few varieties of Taro, but this dish is normally used with colocasia root. Enjoy
