👨🍳 Yapılışı

If using salted codfish, soak it in water overnight, changing the water several times, then boil for 10 minutes, drain, and flake. If using pigtail, boil until tender, then chop.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the prepared salted meat or fish with the coconut milk, chopped callaloo leaves, okra, carrots, sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, thyme, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper.
- 3
Add the breadfruit chunks to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, keeping in mind the saltiness of the meat/fish.
- 4
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently.

Cook for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the breadfruit is tender and the liquid has reduced and thickened, with the coconut oil separating and rising to the surface. Add a cup of water if the stew becomes too dry before the breadfruit is cooked.
