👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Rinse the soaked salted meat thoroughly and drain. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the salted meat until browned on all sides.
- 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the young breadfruit chunks, thyme sprigs, and the whole Scotch bonnet pepper to the pot. Stir to combine with the meat and aromatics.
- 4
Pour in the water or chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the breadfruit is tender.
- 5
Add the diced cho-cho and carrot to the stew. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the stew has thickened slightly.
- 6
Remove the thyme sprigs and the Scotch bonnet pepper (if you prefer less heat). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed, keeping in mind the saltiness of the meat.

Serve hot, ensuring each bowl has a good portion of breadfruit, meat, and vegetables. This stew is often enjoyed on its own or with a side of rice.
