Trinidad & Tobago Breadfruit Oil-Down

Ingredients:

4 cups of coconut milk

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 minced large onion

2 seasoning peppers or 2 Yellow

Wax Hots, remove seeds and stems, chopped fine

1 minced clove garlic

Half Congo pepper (Habanero), seeds and stem removed

1 bunch of finely chopped green onions, including the tops

1 teaspoon dried or 2 teaspoons fresh minced thyme

1 Peeled large breadfruit or canned bread fruit cut into 8 sections

Pepper and Salt for flavor

Half pound diced smoked ham

Cooking Instructions:

Place the ham in a sauce pan cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and for 20 to 30 minutes simmer, until the ham is tender, skimming off any foam that rises at the top, pour off the excess water from the ham and set it aside. Add peppers, garlic, onions, congo pepper, thyme the and green onions to the hot oil and for about 5 minutes saute stirring constantly. Heat the coconut milk and then add the breadfruit sections, along with the ham, pepper and the salt. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes or until the breadfruit has absorbed all the coconut milk. Serve warm.
