This dish may be served as a vegetable or
as a dessert. Serves 8.
Ingredients :
1
500 ml
1 teaspoon
Half-ripe breadfruit about 1.5 kg
Freshly squeezed coconut cream
Salt or to taste
Method :
Bake the
breadfruit in a moderate oven for 1 hour or until it is easily pierced
with a fork.
Remove from
oven and cut it in half.
Discard core
and skin, and put the pulp into a large bowl in which it can be mashed
with a potato masher.
It is easier
if this is done while the breadfruit is hot.
Add the salt
and coconut cream and with a spoon divide the breadfruit into
walnut-sized pieces.
Serve hot.
Note : If the
breadfruit is perfectly ripe, soft and sweet, it need not be baked.
Instead, pull out the stem, cut the fruit in halves lengthways and scoop
out pulp with a spoon. Measure the pulp and mix in half the volume of
coconut cream, and one sixth the volume of sugar. Add salt to bring out
the flavor.
