👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Soak the salt cod in water for at least 30 minutes, or boil it for 5-10 minutes to remove excess salt. Drain, flake the cod, and remove any bones.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Soaking overnight in the refrigerator is best for desalting. - 2
Peel the breadfruit, remove the core, and cut into medium chunks. Boil or steam the breadfruit until very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and mash thoroughly until smooth.
- 3
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the flaked salt cod, chopped parsley, thyme, and lime juice to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the mashed breadfruit with the salt cod mixture. Mix well. If the mixture is too wet, you can add a tablespoon or two of flour to help bind it.
💡 Professionelle Tips: The consistency should be firm enough to shape into balls. - 6
Lightly flour your hands and take a portion of the breadfruit mixture (about the size of a walnut). Flatten it in your palm, place about a tablespoon of the salt cod filling in the center, and carefully enclose the filling with the breadfruit mixture, forming a smooth ball.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Ensure the filling is completely enclosed to prevent it from falling out during frying. - 7
Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot for deep frying over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breadfruit balls to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
💡 Professionelle Tips: The oil is ready when a small piece of breadfruit sizzles immediately. - 8
Fry the boulet for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking. - 9
Serve hot, optionally with pikliz or a spicy dipping sauce.
💡 Professionelle Tips: These are best enjoyed fresh.
