Solomon Islands

Ask what the Solomon Islands eats and the answer starts with this: root crops, slippery cabbage and reef fish in coconut milk, enriched with prized ngali nuts. Look for Simboro (grated cassava dumplings wrapped in slippery cabbage leaves, poached in coconut milk), Cassava Pudding (grated cassava and coconut cream wrapped in leaves and stone-baked) and Slippery Kabis (island cabbage cooked in coconut milk, the everyday green). Grated cassava is rolled in slippery cabbage leaves and poached in coconut milk, a dish shared with neighbouring Vanuatu. This atlas has 17 Solomon Islands dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
