Instructions

  1. Halve the breadfruit, scoop out the seeds from the center, and peel off the skin.
  2. Put the peeled breadfruit into a pot with the half small onion, 1 tablespoon olive oil and enough salted water to cover; bring to a boil over high heat, cook until the fruit is tender, then drain.
  3. As the breadfruit is cooking, melt 4 oz (125 g) of butter in a skillet.
  4. Add three medium onions, sliced into rings, to the melted butter and brown them lightly.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic, the drained and sliced can of whole tomatoes, 1/4 cup (or 3 tablespoons) chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and season with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce to taste; sauté for another two minutes.
  6. Pour in 1 cup (8 oz/250 ml) water, bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer 5–10 minutes to develop the butter sauce.
  7. Take the cooked breadfruit from the pot, let it cool briefly, and then slice it.
  8. Arrange the slices of breadfruit on a serving platter.
  9. Ladle the butter-tomato sauce over the arranged breadfruit, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve.
