KAPISI PULU - CABBAGE AND CORNED BEEF IN COCONUT MILK

Kapisi Pulu - Cabbage and Corned Beef in Coconut Milk image

This recipe can be claimed by Tongan's Samoan's and Fijians (so my girlfriends tell me). For convenience you can use canned corned beef, but my friend now cooks extra corned silverside and then makes this the next day. This recipe was sourced from my Samoan & Fijian friends and from http://www.eua-island-tonga.com/Tongan-recipes.html

6 -8 large cabbage leaves
1 (400 g) can corned beef
1 onion, chopped

2 cups coconut cream

Tips:

Use good quality corned beef. Look for a piece that is well-marbled and has a nice red color.
If you don't have time to cook the corned beef yourself, you can buy it pre-cooked. Just be sure to rinse it well before using.
Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the cabbage. If you do, it will not cook evenly.
Add the coconut milk towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
