Summary

Dessert - Barbados

Ingredients

  • 125 g Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 3 Onion
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic
  • Pepper (To taste)
  • Salt (To taste)
  • Red Pepper Paste (To taste)
  • 250 ml Water
  • Parsley (Garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice
  • 0.5 Breadfruit
  • 500 ml Chopped Tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Captain William Bligh was chosen to lead an expedition to the South Seas to bring the breadfruit to the Caribbean.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.”

  4. 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.

  5. You will need the following ingredients:

  6. 1/2 medium breadfruit

  7. 1/2 small onion

  8. 1 tablespoon olive oil

  9. 4 oz/125g butter

  10. 3 medium onions, cut into rings

  11. 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped

  12. 1 medium 16floz/500ml tin whole tomatoes, drained and sliced

  13. 1/4 cup or 3 tablespoons parsley, diced

  14. 1 tablespoon lime juice

  15. Salt and pepper to taste

  16. 1 cup 8oz or 250ml water

  17. Red pepper sauce to taste.

  18. Garnish: fresh parsley, chopped.

  19. Instructions:

  20. 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.

  21. 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.
