Traditionally the breadfruit is roasted in a log fire. This is the modern method, using an oven.
Ingredients:
1 large ripe uru (breadfruit)
Vegetable oil
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 180°C.
Trim the stem end of the breadfruit then cut an X on both ends to prevent it from exploding in the oven.
Rub vegetable oil all over the fruit. Sit in a roasting tin (this just makes it easier to handle) then bake in your pre-heated oven for an hour.
The skin will have darkened and a toothpick should easily penetrate the flesh.
Cut the fruit in half and cut out the core then shave skin off.
Cut the ulu (breadfruit) in bite-sized pieces or wedges. Toss with salt and black pepper to taste then arrange the breadfruit pieces on a baking tray. Place back in oven at 220°C for 5-10 minutes or until slightly brown.
