Breadfruit in Butter Sauce Recipe

Recipes :

1/2 Breadfruit

1/2 Onion

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

125g Butter

3 Onion

1 tablespoon Garlic

1 tablespoon Tinned Tomatos

500ml Tinned Tomatos

3 tablespoons Lime juice

To taste Salt

To taste Pepper

250ml Water

To taste Red Pepper Paste

Garnish Parsley

Instructions :

  • Captain William Bligh was chosen to lead an expedition to the South Seas to bring the breadfruit to the Caribbean.
  • His devotion to the breadfruit saplings and neglect of his crew’s water needs lead to the famous “Mutiny on the Bounty” on his first attempt. Cast overboard; Captain Bligh made his way hundreds of miles to safety in an open boat.
  • On his second attempt in 1793, he sailed into Jamaica’s Port Royal Harbour with a ship so crowded with beautiful leafy breadfruit saplings that the Jamaicans rowed out toward “the ship that has bush.”
  • Today large, lush breadfruit trees grow throughout the Caribbean, bearing the football-like starchy staple that has kept hunger away from many a door. Breadfruit may be difficult to find outside the Caribbean.
  • You will need the following ingredients:
  • 1/2 medium breadfruit
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 oz/125g butter
  • 3 medium onions, cut into rings
  • 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped
  • 1 medium 16floz/500ml tin whole tomatoes, drained and sliced
  • 1/4 cup or 3 tablespoons parsley, diced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup 8oz or 250ml water
  • Red pepper sauce to taste.
  • Garnish: fresh parsley, chopped.
  • Instructions:
  • Cut the breadfruit, remove the seeds in the core, and peel. Boil in salted water with a little onion and oil, over high heat until tender and drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan and lightly brown the onion rings. Add the garlic, tomatoes, parsley, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Continue to sauté for a couple of minutes. Add the water, bring to the boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Slice the cooled breadfruit and place it in a serving dish. Pour the butter sauce over the breadfruit.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
