🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: plantains

Sweet potatoes offer a similar texture and flavor profile.

1

Remove the stem from the breadfruit and make small cuts at the bottom for soaking.

2

Place the breadfruit on the stove over high flame to achieve a dark color.

3

Use a paper bag to turn the breadfruit to avoid burns.

4

Continue turning until all sides are darkened.

5

Lower the flame to allow the inside of the breadfruit to cook through.

6

Check doneness by lifting the breadfruit; it should feel lighter and a fork should go through easily.

7

Once cooked, add onion, scallion, thyme, and hot pepper to the pot to sauté.

8

Add two cans of mackerel to the sautéed mixture and mix well.

9

Season with black pepper and optional ketchup, cooking for an additional minute.
