Tony took us to a plantation tour, which was amazing (I will post more about it in the next few days) and we went back to our guesthouse with a good stock of locale produce. The first recipe I am proposing is with breadfruit, I heard a lot about this fruit but never cooked it (although I ate it before and found it quite bland).
Tony told me that I could bake it, boil it or make chips, and since I travelled with olive oil and some luxury salt flakes I decided to go for chips.
Breadfruit needs to be peeled and sliced, Tony peeled it with a machete for me. I cut it into thin slices and pan fried them with a little olive oil (not deep fried) and added some Welsh sea salt flakes. I served it as an appetizer, everybody love it so much that I made it again the evening after. First breadfruit experiment: successful!
And now I leave you with some more images of Niue, till next recipe.
PS
Sorry if I am not replying to all your comments, time and connection are big issues for me at present.

il frutto del pane è molto bello e mi piacerebbe provarlo, proverò con il mio banco al mercato, di frutta e verdura dal mondo...ma le foto sono la mia grande passione, le adoro, quelle spiagge infinite....
ReplyDeletema non hai visto la mia pavlova? un abbraccio
Quel frutto non l'ho mai provato...anche se in India ne incontro anch'io sempre di nuovi. E' incredibile la varietà di frutta in giro per il monda alla quale proprio non siamo abituati e che ignoriamo....leggere i tuoi post è come fare un viaggio ogni volta!! posti, colori e profumi(immaginati) sempre diversi e nuovi: bellissimo!

ReplyDeleteOh Man! I haven't had these for such a long, long time. Years! This fruit is one of my favourite wild fruit. They grow widely in the rainforest near our estate in Sumatra Island. I love it. I still remember the taste!
