About Breadfruit and Saltfish
Chris De La Rosa presents roast breadfruit with saltfish as a Caribbean classic. Mature breadfruit is roasted over a coal fire until its skin chars, then peeled, cored and cut into wedges.
Prepared salted cod flavours a pan of olive oil and butter. Onion, garlic, thyme, tomato and Scotch bonnet pepper surround the breadfruit as it absorbs the seasoning and develops a crust against the pan.
Scallions finish the dish near the end of cooking. Ripe avocado and Caribbean pepper sauce are offered alongside the roasted breadfruit and savoury fish.
