📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Tuluk is a traditional Vanuatu dish: a filling of ground pork or chicken seasoned with coconut cream is wrapped in grated cassava dough, rolled in banana leaves, and baked. Like a laplap with filling inside, it's a popular snack sold at markets and roadsides.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At the market in Port Vila, Vanuatu's capital, long banana-leaf parcels are sold and open to reveal meat filling peeking from white dough.
