The stove isn’t ‘wrong’ in Jamaica a common way we cook them is in the fire flames touching, it causes the flesh to come off with more of a soft toasted bread texture when done right which readily soaks up sauces and gravy’s just like bread but holds it way better. When people moved from the farm to more of a city life it was common for people to do the stove method seeing that an open pit fire wasn’t an option.

This is how it is done in Jamaica on the stove to or in an open flame on the coal (charcoal) stove. For those who do not want to tolerate the blackness from the char, they wrapped it in aluminum foil and roast it in the oven. Jamaicans do roast then fry breadfruit. The over-ripped breadfruit I used to make Breadfruit Fritters. The boiled breadfruit can be also used to make Breadfruit Salad or Breadfruit Punch. One love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

In Jamaica we roast breadfruit on stove top, baked in oven and also in wood fire. We have two types of breadfruit (boiling breadfruit which we used in soups or just boiled with ground provisions and roasting breadfruit which we roast and eat it like bread or roast then fried with a little salt.

In most Caribbean countries, breadfruit can be roasted on the stove top or in an out door wood fire. In Barbados, we peel it, boil it with herbs and salted pork/pigtail and butter, mash it and serve as breadfruit coucou. It is wonderful with fried or boiled fish, beef stew etc. with a side of pickled cucumber. There is really no wrong way to eat a breadfruit.

@theislandgardeners6615
@theislandgardeners6615 2 года назад
Hi, great video, however the way you prepare it depends on the stage the fruit is in. The ones you have with the dark spots just before becoming ripe are great roasted or fried, (roasted then fried is awesome) ^^ and have a bread like texture (if this one is boiled it has a more sweetish taste). Fully green, is better boiled more firm and potato like after boiling, and ripe is crushed and used in various pastry and baking.

@theislandgardeners6615
@theislandgardeners6615 2 года назад
@@injunsun hi, if you wish to pound it into a paste and make a sweet flour or pastry then soft is good, when it gets soft it loses its bread like texture and taste which is just before that, 1st. Early in its stage at full green color and full sized it is more like a potato, peel it cut out the center and boil it, use it similarly. 2. As it matures and starts to have dark spots and the spikes start to smooth out a bit, but still very firm, it is more airy and bread like and is great roasted (becomes a very breadlike hence breadfruit) not sweet or it cane be fried, or roasted then fried (one of my favorite if I don’t have it hot off the fire lol) instead of roasting baking can work too, just endure to make deep cuts in the top and bottom in an X form to allow steam to exit and cook thoroughly. 3rd. Is the ripened stage which becomes sweet, like a dough mixed with sugar, water and some starch. I haven’t much experience using this stage. Ty

That pepper curry dish looked wonderful. When I first moved to Hawaii my neighbor created a dessert dish with Ulu ( breadfruit). She cut a wedge out, scooped out the center seeds and lightly sprinkled cinnamon, added brown sugar, and put in about 2 Tbls. of butter. The wedge was placed back and the whole fruit was wrapped in foil. Bake at 330 to 350 for about 2 hours. The result was almost a thick pudding like dessert. You do have to have ripe fruit for this. I've also had it steamed, tempura fried, mixed with pumpkin and taro and baked in a pan. Besides the dessert my next favorite is baked in an imu ( earthen oven with Kiawe wood and stones and banana trunk).

Another great way is (oil down) where u quarter it then u put it in a pot with coconut milk to fully cover it, pigtails(boil out the salt), green seasoning(pimento pepper,celery,chive,oregano,basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt to taste) a small piece of golden ray cook it breadfruit it done and most of the liquid has reduced. Trinidad and Tobago(oil down)... U can use powered coconut milk or the actual coconut crscked grated and squeezed but enough milk to cover the breadfruit.

I have eaten Breadfruit boiled, fried and baked. However, the best way is to make it and eat is as a breadfruit flan. For the flan you want to boil it and blender it and then combine it with the rest of ingredients of a regular flan. Also I recommend it green and not ripe (for the flan). My mother also makes rellenos de panapén. Which is another version of the Puerto Rican, rellenos de papa. Try it. Simply amazing. For the boiled breadfruit, you might want to add EVOO and some salt and pepper. That's how I would eat it when I lived by myself in Puerto Rico.

1. Oven roasting for 1.5 hours uses a lot of energy. 2. "Run down" actually comes from the Indonesian word "Rendang". 3. In Jamaica we often roast it on a fire, and then fry the leftover breadfruit for breakfast the next day. 4. I am familiar with 2 types, yellow heart and white heart, yellow tastes much better. 5. Most Jamaicans don't know that breadfruit is not actually Jamaican-- it got there from Tahiti.

In Goa in India, we peel the outer green covering , then we cut thin slices of the bread fruit (it should be a little thicker than a wafer) . Then add some salt for taste and chilli powder and mix. Wait for a few minutes then pan fry the bread fruit. It is yummy to eat and once you start eating fried bread fruit you will not be able to stop.

Breadfruit is really versatile. We make pizza dough with it. Shepard's pie, Flan/creme caramel, fritters, and turnovers filled with meats. They are great boiled accompanied with some butter and codfish serenata.

You finally did it (pana/ breadfruit) justice. Glad you enjoyed it. Here (P.R.) it is a staple food. We eat it at home at least once a week. We enjoy it fried (no batter, just the thin pana chips) or as "tostones de pana" and boiled. My favorite "lazy" dinner is boiled pana and an entire avocado with toasted garlic bread on the side for the crunch.

Malaysian here: another word for the breadfruit besides "sukun" (you pronounced "sukun goreng" very well 👍) is "kulur". "Kulur" is actually related to the Hawaiian word "ulu" at 1:08 - both Malay and Hawaiian are related languages spoken by Austronesian peoples who migrated from Taiwan to SE Asia to Oceania for centuries which also spread their essential crops including breadfruit - anthropologists know this as the "Austronesian expansion" .

Start saving seed from the rarer fruits you review, now that you've got some light for plants.

I'm from the Caribbean. Grenada to be exact. The most popular breadfruit dish here is oil down. The breadfruit is steamed down in coconut milk with different types of meat, and sometimes other ground provisions. It is seasoned with turmeric, curry, seasoning peppers, thyme, onions, garlic and other herbs. Some add flour or cornmeal dumplings to it. And the pot is covered with calalloo (dashes leaves). It is called oil down because when the breadfruit and other provisions are cooked it is steamed down to one of the most tasty dishes on the planet. It's the national dish here and visitors always request to try it.

I am Jamaican - and we eat a lot of breadfruit in Jamaica - it is a staple. I can confirm that many Jamaicans, (I included) who do not have access to an open fire - roast their breadfruit on top of their stove. So yes, it is ok to roast your breadfruit on your stove top...

To make easier to peel the fruit grease the knife with some cooking oil! Stove top roasted breadfruit is easy and convenient, but in Jamaica we roast on "coal stove". Ripe or "turn" breadfruit taste sweet when roasted. Over ripened breadfruit is used in a drink. It's a very versatile fruit.

Am Jamaican and i roast it on the stove all the time, i have roasted four in the oven also bit most Jamaican do it outdoors on a wood or coal fire(just to save their gas) roasting is best when it is almost ripe... boiling is best in soup and younger breadfruit is used. We jamaicans never eat it raw.

My neighbor gave is some sukun fruits that was so strangely sweet. So my mom decided to grow it behind our home. It was a bad idea because it grew so tall and big, whenever windy rain happened we were concerned if the tree fell. So it was cut down. But the smaller trees keep growing. As my mom said it, as long as the root lives, they will keep growing new trees

Jamaicans roast breadfruits on top of a coal stove or a gas stove since forever. The smoky flavour is delicious. We roast it while still green but a favourite for many is to roast on a fire when 'turned' - meaning just before it starts to ripen

@MrOffTrail
@MrOffTrail 2 года назад
If frying, it will come out crispier and less greasy if you use more oil. It might seem counterintuitive, but using more oil will give you more “thermal mass”, so when you drop room temperature food in, the oil temperature won’t drop as much. Keeping the oil temperature high will generate steam in the surface of the food, which pushes outwards and prevents oil from being absorbed by the coating, while using too little oil will let the temperature drop too low to keep the steam going, and your food will absorb the oil and get a bit soggy and greasy. Frying in batches will help somewhat too, but really don’t skimp on the oil. If you use a good neutral frying oil like peanut, canola, ghee, etc, and don’t let it get overly hot, you can strain it and reuse it. Also, substituting rice flour for the cornstarch will make it extra crispy.

I know of a different variety which are larger, you eat them when they ripen and fall from the tree. Difference is, we only eat the seeds that by this time are already quite large. They're boiled in water with a fair amountof salt, then peeled and eaten individually.
