Directions:
- 1Place onion and oil in a large saucepan and sweat down for a minute. Add the cassava, sweet potato, pumpkin and taro.
- 2Add the coconut cream and milk (use both — each one adds a distinct consistency!), along with the stock and celery salt.
- 3Cover and simmer gently over a low heat until the vegetables have cooked through — the pumpkin will have broken down and fallen apart, effectively becoming part of the creamy liquid.
- 4Serve alongside cooked rice :)
