Saksak
(Sweet Sago Dumpling)
Susan
Collier from Papua New Guinea
This
dish is eaten at home; it can be a lunch or a
dinner dish. It is special for people living along
the coastal area of Papua New Guinea.
I
like it because I grew up eating it. Children love
it. I like to prepare it whenever I have the ground
sago.
Ingredients:
- 6
cups of ground sago
- 4
ripe bananas mashed
- a
couple of banana leaves
- coconut
milk of 6 coconuts
Method:
- Mix
the ground sago and the 4 ripe bananas together
well
- Heat
the banana leaves over the fire to soften
them.
- Cut
the banana leaves into little rectangular pieces
and wrap the sago in these pieces.
- Pop
the wrapped sago into boiling hot water in a
pot. Let these boil for about 20 minutes.
- Prepare
another pot of creamed coconut milk. Squeeze the
milk out of the 6 coconuts and boil this milk
until it comes to boiling point.
- Take
the sago out of the boiling water, unwrap it
from the banana wrap and drop the sago into the
boiling coconut milk.
- Let
cook for another 20 minutes.
Tips
for Preparing
If
done properly, you should have little
rectangular-shaped sago dumplings. If you don't
have banana leaves, you can use aluminum
foil.
