Breadfruit Pie

Breadfruit is one of the most popular dishes on the island of St. Lucia. It's a popular staple meal, similar to potatoes, although the flavour changes depending on whether it's mature or ripe. When fully developed, it is frequently fried and has a starchy flavor.

Breadfruit can be prepared in a variety of ways, including boiling in salted water and serving as part of a dish, frying it after boiling, and mixing it with seasonings and other ingredients, forming a pie, and baking it. Breadfruit cooked in a creole sauce pairs well with fish or dry stewed meats. These breadfruit dish combinations are mostly seen in rural areas of St Lucia.
