Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe breadfruit
- 400 ml coconut cream
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp, chopped (optional, for garnish) cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the breadfruit slices.
Peel the breadfruit, remove the core, and cut it into 1-inch thick wedges.
In a deep pot, bring water to a boil and parboil the breadfruit wedges for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder, salt, and black pepper, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Slowly add the coconut cream to the saucepan and mix well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine, then remove from heat.
Layer the parboiled breadfruit wedges in the prepared baking dish. Pour the spiced coconut cream mixture evenly over the breadfruit, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the breadfruit is tender and the top is lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or side, and enjoy this savory take on taufolo!
