Breadfruit in Seasoned Coconut Sauce (Costa Rican Caribbean Styl image

Authentic family recipe from Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. We met our new friend Eliza on our trip to Punta Uva last week. She and her family offered to show us how to make breadfruit Caribbean style. This dish is AMAZING! One of my new favorite meals. This was my first time having breadfruit, and I think I liked it even better than chicken. More tender than chicken, more moist and less starchy than a potato. Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFzbhKyABDU&feature=plcp
