Ingredients

  • 1 medium Breadfruit (peeled, cored, and cubed)
  • 2 cans Coconut Milk (full-fat)
  • 1 medium Onion (chopped)
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 large Carrot (chopped)
  • 1 cup Chopped Okra
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 small Scotch Bonnet Pepper (finely chopped, optional)
  • 3 sprigs Thyme (fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp Allspice
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the 1 medium breadfruit (peeled, cored, and cubed), 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk, 1 medium chopped onion, 1 medium chopped bell pepper, 1 large chopped carrot, 1 cup chopped okra, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 small finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper (if using), 3 sprigs fresh thyme, 1/2 tsp allspice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. 2Place the large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat (approximately 162.8-190.6°C / 160-190°C) and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. 3Once the mixture is boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low (approximately 79.44-93.33°C / 80-95°C), cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 45 minutes.
  4. 4During the 45-minute simmering time, stir the stew every 10-15 minutes to prevent any ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  5. 5The stew is ready when the 1 medium breadfruit is tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, and the stew has visibly thickened.
  6. 6Before serving, carefully remove and discard the 3 sprigs of fresh thyme from the pot.
  7. 7Serve the Coconut Rundown hot, on its own.
