Pohnpei Breadfruit and Fish Bake - Federated States of Micronesia traditional dish

🧂 재료

2 medium Breadfruit(peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes)
600 g White fish fillets (e.g., cod, snapper)(cut into large chunks)
2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
1 medium Onion(chopped)
3 cloves Garlic(minced)
1 inch piece Ginger(grated)
1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
1/2 tsp Black pepper(or to taste)
for lining Banana leaves or parchment paper

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using banana leaves, briefly wilt them over a flame or in hot water to make them pliable.
💡 전문가 팁: Wilted banana leaves add a subtle aroma to the dish.
2
In a large bowl, combine the cubed breadfruit, fish chunks, chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
Pour the coconut milk over the ingredients. Season with salt and black pepper. Gently mix everything together.
💡 전문가 팁: Taste the coconut milk mixture and adjust seasoning before adding to the main ingredients.
4
Line a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with wilted banana leaves or parchment paper, ensuring some overhang.
💡 전문가 팁: The lining helps prevent sticking and adds moisture.
5
Transfer the breadfruit and fish mixture into the prepared baking dish. Fold the overhanging leaves or paper over the top to cover.
💡 전문가 팁: This creates a steam-packet effect.
6
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the breadfruit is tender and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. The coconut milk should have thickened slightly.
💡 전문가 팁: Check for doneness by carefully opening the packet and inserting a fork into the breadfruit.
7
Let it rest for a few minutes before carefully opening the packet and serving hot.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve directly from the baking dish.
