Taro dip

Taro is a versatile root vegetable, it can be baked, boiled, steamed or fried. In this recipe it is boiled and then made into a dip flavoured with lots of garlic and lemon and sprinkled with sumac. When shopping for taro the tubers should feel heavy for their size and have firm skin with no splitting.
