Potatoes are widely available and provide a similar texture.

Start by boiling salted pigtail to remove excess salt, about 40 minutes.

Heat a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot over high heat.

Add chopped onion, smashed garlic, chopped scallions, and celery to the pot and stir.

Turn heat down to low to sweat and soften the vegetables.

In a measuring cup, combine 2 cups of coconut milk with 0.5 tsp curry powder and 0.5 tsp saffron, stirring to combine.

Once the vegetables are slightly golden, turn off the stove and assemble the dish in layers.

Cut the boiled salted pigtail into pieces and layer it in the pot.

Add seasoned chicken breast (with 1 tsp Caribbean green seasoning) on top of the pigtail.

Layer in the breadfruit, green cooking bananas, chunked carrots, pumpkin, and edos.

Sprinkle fresh ground black pepper, add the whole Scotch bonnet pepper, and layer fresh thyme and chopped seasoning peppers on top.

Add 3 cups of coconut milk to the pot, adjusting as needed based on the size of the pot.

Cover the pot with a lid slightly ajar and bring to a rolling boil.

Let it cook until everything is tender, about 40 minutes, checking for salt as needed.

After cooking, check the consistency and flavor, adjusting with additional seasoning if desired.
