To cook Breadfruit Porridge, you can follow this general recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized breadfruit
- 4 cups of water (for boiling breadfruit)
- 4 cups of milk (can use coconut milk for added flavor)
- 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk or sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Additional toppings and flavorings like nutmeg, grated coconut, or raisins (optional)
Instructions:
-
Start by preparing the breadfruit. Peel the breadfruit and cut it into small pieces or grate it. Rinse the grated breadfruit to remove any excess starch.
-
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the grated or chopped breadfruit to the boiling water and cook until it becomes tender and soft. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
-
Once the breadfruit is cooked, drain the water and return the pot to the stove. Add the milk, sweetened condensed milk or sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon (if desired), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
-
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more sugar or sweetened condensed milk if needed. You can also adjust the consistency by adding more milk if you prefer a thinner porridge.
-
Remove the pot from heat and let the porridge cool slightly before serving. Stir occasionally as it cools to prevent a skin from forming on top.
-
Serve the Breadfruit Porridge warm in bowls. You can garnish it with additional toppings such as grated coconut, a sprinkle of nutmeg, or raisins if desired.
