Ingredients

4 ripe plantains or bananas, peeled and sliced
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
1 medium taro root, peeled and cut into chunks (optional)

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Peel and slice the plantains or bananas.

Peel and cut the sweet potato and taro root (if using) into chunks.

Cook the Ladob

In a large pot, combine the coconut milk, water, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Add the Vegetables and Fruits

Add the sliced plantains or bananas, sweet potato, and taro root to the pot.

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potato and taro are tender and the flavors are well combined. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Serve

Remove from heat and let the Ladob cool slightly.
