Breadfruit Curry - Dads That Cook
By Jason Glover
A simple curry using a new to us ingredient Ulu: "breadfruit"! Breadfruit is high in starch with a potato-like texture which helps to thicken the curry. This was such a fun new ingredient to cook with!
To steam the breadfruit, slice the breadfruit open and remove the seed.
Cut into quarters, place in a steamer basket, and steam for 1 hour.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, peel off the skin, cut into chunks, and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-heat heat. Add the onion, carrot, and leek. Season with a pinch of salt and sauté until slightly softened.
Add the breadfruit, coconut milk, curry paste, curry powder, and fish sauce.
Simmer for about 20 minutes, until all of the veggies are tender. Toss in the parsley, serve over rice, and enjoy!
Note: If breadfruit is not available where you are, you can substitute diced sweet potato or yam. Just wait to add until about 10 mins into the simmering process.
