You guys requested something amazing! Something that seemed a bit difficult was extremely easy. I truly enjoyed this dish. It’s a dish that’s just packed with local produce and its very versatile. Provisos can be added and additional vegetables can be added. Having it for the first time I would describe it as this flavorful, creamy and just melt in your mouth kind of dish.
I was really surprised and after learning more about the fruit with Dr Roberts Nkrumah I will definitely be making a lot more dishes with the fruit. She helped me to understand the various ways in which we can use the fruit so I urge you to keep buying breadfruit and exploring yourself. As always, another simple recipe that you can enjoy. 🙂

I like your recipe but I add 1 1/2 ” carrot and pumpkin pieces. One coconut to each breadfruit.
How about a non pork recipe. My late uncle Bing made this with smoked turkey once.
