Dasheen is a root from the callaloo plant. It is also called Elephant Ears. To cook Dasheen, you first peel the skin off and boil. Do not let it sit or cook too long in the water or it will become mushy or water-soaked and the quality of flavor will be lost. After you boil the Dasheen, you can fry it. Dasheen is good served with curry goat or stewed chicken. It is also good served alone with butter.
