Island Spice Stuffed Breadfruit Recipes

Steps:

• Peel vegetable(s), cut into pieces and steam or boil until half cooked.
• Cool and cut into 1/2" cubes. Heat butter and oil in large pot or fry pan.
• Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the prepared vegetables and spices, tossing the spices until well mixed before adding.
• Put a lid on the pan and steam for a few minutes.
• Season to taste.

Steps:

• Roast the breadfruit whole over charcoal (the best method), or directly over a gas burner.
• Turn the fruit as it begins to char. The roasting takes about an hour.
• When steam starts to escape from the stem end, the breadfruit is done.
• Remove the breadfruit from the fire, and cut a circle at the stem end.
• Scoop out the heart, and discard it.
• Scoop out the meat, or cut off the charred outer skin, and cut the meat into slices, and serve it hot with butter.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• Boil the breadfruit in lots of salted water until tender; this takes about 20 minutes.
• Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions & cook until golden. Remove the onions and set aside.
• Add flour to same saucepan and cook,stirring for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the milk, whisking until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the heat.
• Add the grated cheese, nutmeg, salt, & pepper.
• In a buttered casserole dish layer the breadfruit, onions, and cheese sauce, ending with the cheese sauce.
• Bake for 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt your butter, taking care not to brown or burn it, mix in nutmeg and cinnamon.
• Place aside or better yet, place in a small bowl and place in the refrigerator to set up again.
• Once you have your ripe breadfruit pull on the stem, it should give way with a tug and when the step comes off, the innards should come with it as well.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the brown sugar into the hollow breadfruit.
• Take your hardened butter mixture and with a knife or spatula, place into the breadfruit followed by the rest of the brown sugar.
• Cover the hole in the top of the breadfruit (I tried using about an inch of a plantain to stuff the hole and it worked pretty well).
• Place in a baking pan with 2 cups of water and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hours.
• Allow breadfruit to cool for 15 minutes.
• Cut into quarters and dig inches.
• Depending on the consistency of your breadfruit, it might not be a bad idea to prep up an extra 1/2 cup of butter to use once the breadfruit is quartered.
