Baked Dasheens

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Clean the dasheens with a stiff brush or coarse cloth and rinse in water.

  2. Place the cleaned dasheens in a 350°F (175°C) oven, or parboil them for 5 to 10 minutes if they are large.

  3. Cut very large dasheens in half lengthwise to facilitate baking.

  4. Bake until done, testing with a fork.

  5. Serve immediately in a warmed dish, covered with a napkin, and season with salt and butter.
