Nauru Breadfruit in Coconut Milk
A simple yet comforting dish where starchy breadfruit is boiled until tender and then simmered in rich coconut milk, often with a hint of onion and salt. This dish showcases the use of staple island ingredients.
🧂 Ingredientes
- 1 large Breadfruit(about 1 kg, firm and starchy variety)
- 800 ml Coconut milk(full-fat, from 2 cans)
- 1 small Onion(finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp Salt(or to taste)
- as needed Water
👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Prepare the breadfruit: Halve, quarter, and cut out the core. Shave off the skin and chop the breadfruit into roughly 2-inch chunks.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: If using a whole breadfruit, you can boil it first for about 40 minutes, rotating it, until a knife can be inserted easily. Then cool, peel, and cut into chunks. - 2
Place the breadfruit chunks in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Drain the water from the pot. Add the coconut milk, chopped onion, and salt to the pot with the breadfruit.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Some recipes suggest adding the salt to the coconut milk and onion mixture before adding to the breadfruit to better incorporate the flavors. - 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the breadfruit to absorb the coconut milk and flavors.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Be careful not to boil too vigorously, as coconut milk can sometimes curdle. - 5
Serve hot. The texture of the breadfruit will be soft and starchy, complemented by the creamy coconut milk.
