Brought to feed the slaves in the West Indies by Captain Bligh, of HMS Bounty fame.

​

One breadfruit, onion & carrot
celery, cheese, milk

​

Peel the breadfruit and cut into chunks...remove the centre core. Boil in salted water. When soft, remove each piece separately from hot water and mash it as you remove it. This stops it getting too glutinous and sticky. Add chopped onion, shredded boiled carrot, chopped celery together with enough milk to hold the mashed fruit together. Top with grated cheese and bake at about 370F for 30 minutes.

​

Breadfruit Balls

Using the same recipe as above, mix in grated cheese with the vegetables. Take a small quantity of the mixture, roll into a ball and then roll in breadcrumbs or crushed biscuit crumbs. Bake as above. Serve with callalloo (see MAY). Season to taste.
