Palusami is a main dish from Samoa made with coconut milk. In the islands of Samoa, we use taro leaves and the Samoan corn-beef but here in America, my family can not live with out it so we use other substitute you can buy at the grocery store.
Ingredients
- 2 bags fresh spinach , 10 ounce
- 1 can corned beef , 12 ounce
- 2 cans coconut milk , 10 ounce
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Make a layer of spinach leaves in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with some of the corned beef, then keep repeating layers of spinach and corned beef until you run out of spinach. Don't worry about how full the dish is because the spinach will shrink as it cooks. Pour both cans of coconut milk over the dish, pressing the leaves down with a spoon. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until spinach has completely wilted and the sauce is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Ginataang Alimasag (Crabs in Coconut Milk)
Growing up in the Philippines, my dad would catch a lot of crabs, and ginataang alimasag (crabs in coconut milk) was my favorite recipe he'd make with them. It's a cross between a sauce and a stew, curry-like in texture and rich with sea flavors; think coconut milk, fish sauce, and shrimp paste, cut with the sharpness of ginger and scallions. Enjoy with freshly steamed white rice.
German Marble Cake
This is a lovely cake with the taste of almond and chocolate and it is almost like a pound cake.
Danish Dream Cake
This Danish dream cake is a soft vanilla cake with an easy broiled coconut-caramel icing with a slightly crisp texture that contrasts nicely with the tender cake. For some of us, this cake, also called Lazy Daisy Cake or Lazy Day Cake, was the first cake our grandmothers taught us to make. A serrated knife helps to cut through the topping when slicing the cake.
