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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the breadfruit slices.

Step 2

Peel the breadfruit, remove the core, and cut it into 1-inch thick wedges.

Step 3

In a deep pot, bring water to a boil and parboil the breadfruit wedges for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, salt, and black pepper, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a main dish or side, and enjoy this savory take on taufolo!
