African Breadfruit (Ukwa) Recipe

Rinse the breadfruit under running water to remove any dirt.

Add a piece of stockfish to a pot with a little water and cook for 10 minutes until softened.

Add the rinsed breadfruit to the pot and cover with water.

Allow to boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 40-50 minutes or until the breadfruit is soft when pierced with a spoon.

Separate the water from the boiled breadfruit.

Turn off the heat.

Add cooked stockfish, a pinch of salt, a little oil, red pepper, and a small piece of bitter leaf (optional), and stir.
