Miki

Ingredients:

1 can of coconut milk (no additives or sugar added),

Note: If able to make your own coconut milk from fresh coconuts, the taste will even be better and much healthier

1 medium onion finely diced

1 fresh lemon

1/2 cup clean drinking water
Salt to taste

Directions:

1. In a clean medium-sized bowl, pour in the coconut milk

2. Add the onions and mix well

3. Add water and juice of the lemon and mix well

4. Add a little salt according to taste

Serve in a clean cup, to eat on the side with freshly hot baked taro, or hot baked green bananas or hot baked plantain banana, or hot baked breadfruit.

Note: If you have access to a Samoan oven (umu) to bake your taro, banana, and breadfruit, the taste of the food is so delicious.

Optional preparation with fish:

Samoan Miki is a very healthy simple organic dish to enjoy with baked food as mentioned above.

For those who eat fish, Samoan Miki is also served to eat with baked clean fish.
