Ngerdesub (pork stew with taro leaves)

Instructions

1. Cut the pork into cubes about 3 cm across and season them with salt and pepper.
2. Brown the meat in small batches in very hot oil, 5 minutes in total, so it takes on some colour.
3. Add the sliced onion and the crushed garlic, then sauté for 3 minutes.
4. Wash the taro leaves thoroughly, remove the thick ribs and chop them roughly.
5. Return the meat to the pot with the water, cover and let it simmer gently for 45 minutes.
6. Add the taro leaves and the coconut milk, then continue cooking covered for 35 minutes, stirring from time to time.
7. The stew should be meltingly tender and slightly thickened. Adjust the seasoning and serve with rice.
