Another couple of recipes from the Cooking Contest at the Breadfruit Festival celebrated this past Saturday 24th.

A total of 29 different dishes were entered in the Appetizer, Soups/Salads/Side Dishes, Main Dish/Entrée and Desserts categories.  The rules of the contest called for original recipes featuring breadfruit as the main ingredient.  

Breadfruit Fest - Breadfruit & Cornbeef Patties 

'Ulu Cornedbeef Patties w/Sweet Chili Aioli

2 pounds green mature breadfruit
1 can (12 ounces corned beef
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cup Surimi (fish paste)
Oil for frying
 
Wash, peel and core 'ulu.  Cut into 1/4 inch cubes.  Place in pot and cover with water; add salt to taste.  Boil until tender (approximately 20 minutes)
 
Remove 'ulu from water into a mixing bowl.  Add all other ingredients.
 
Heat oil in skillet.  Drop mixture by spoonful and fry until golden brown.
 
Serve with Sweet Chili Aioli

Combine well
YIELD: 6 servings

Breadfruit Fest - 'Ulu Pops 
'Ulu Pops
  
2 very ripe 'ulu
1 cup fresh coconut milk
2 ounces sugar cane juice
Homemade liliko'i (passionfruit) extract
Honey
 
When the core of the 'ulu comes easily out, your 'ulu is ready to use.  Scoop the creamy insides into a blender and add the coconut milk and sugar cane juice.  Blend.
 
If mixture is to your liking, pour into the popsicle molds or ice cube trays.  In a squeeze bottle, mix liliko'i extract and add a touch of honey for consistency.  Squeeze a couple of squirts into each mold to add a nice look and good accent to the 'ulu.  Freeze and enjoy!
 
NOTES: Only use the creamiest part of the ripe 'ulu, not any stringy parts.  If you don't tell people who dislike 'ulu what they are eating they very often like it.  For ripe 'ulu lovers this is so ono (delicious).  You can always use more coconut milk, as they ('ulu and coconut) are such sisters in taste.
 
YIELD: 2 popsicles

boy these look good. Don't think I can find breadfruit here though. I sure would like to try these.

If there are such things as Asian or Caribbean (Jamaican) markets near you, you might be able to find some..... ;-)

Sonia M. Sep 28, 2011, 5:10pm UTC

I really want to try breadfruit. There are some Asian food markets in Michigan, but not nearby. I may have to travel a bit. Thanks for posting to Cook it up Big!

The taste by itself is very bland. You need to mix it with other flavors...but if you use it as you would a potato - mashed with butter and salt and pepper; in stews, soups, etc....it takes on the other flavors pf the dish.

I'm assuming those 'Ulu Pops tasted mostly like coconut, yes?
Sonia M. Oct 1, 2011, 9:08pm UTC
Actually somewhat like coconut with an explosion of liliko'i whenever you got to the orangy part... they were quite good.
Madame Donna C. Oct 1, 2011, 11:36pm UTC
Oh, that sounds even better!
Sonia M. Oct 1, 2011, 11:48pm UTC
They were....I'm looking forward to another visit to the school and maybe sampling some more.... ;-)
