Today we have another Caribbean recipe, again from Trinidad and Tobago for a vegetarian curry of breadfruit.

Ingredients:

500g (1 lb) Breadfruit (fresh or frozen) cut into chunks
2 sprigs of Thyme
2-3 Garlic cloves, minced
1 medium Onion, chopped
1 medium Bell pepper, cored and chopped
1 Scotch bonnet chilli, chopped (add more or less to taste)
125l (1/2 cup) Water (you may need more or less)
60ml (1/4 cup) Vegetable oil
3 tbsp Trini Curry powder
4 tbsp Tomato purée
1/2 tsp sea Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
coriander (cilantro) leaves, to garnish

Method:

Begin by boiling the breadfruit: Add the chunks of breadfruit to a pan of boiling, lightly salted, water. Continue boiling for about 15 minutes until the breadfruit is fork tender (do not over-cook as you will be adding to the curry).

Drain in a colander and set aside.

For the curry: heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat. When hot add the onion, bell pepper, chilli and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft. Scatter over the curry powder, salt, black pepper then stir to combine. Now add the tomato purée, stirring to combine. Pour in the water and stir everything together. Cover and simmer gently for 6 minutes.

Now add the chunks of breadfruit, return to a simmer, cover and continue cooking for about 8 minutes. Serve hot with rice.
