Instructions

1. 1

   Season the Breadfruit the night before if you can — green seasoning, salt, a scatter of scotch bonnet — and let it marinate.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a heavy pot and burn the sugar to a dark caramel (careful: dark brown, not black) for the authentic stew base.

3. 3

   Add the Breadfruit immediately and turn to coat in the burnt sugar, searing until sealed.

4. 4

   Add Coconut Oil and Garlic with the herbs and a splash of water, scraping the pot base.

5. 5

   Cover and simmer on a low flame until the Breadfruit is tender and the sauce has reduced and darkened.

6. 6

   Serve hot with rice and peas, with the thick sauce spooned over everything.
