Critical Success Points
- • Roasting the breadfruit without over‑charred bottom
- • Desalting the salted mackerel until the salt level is palatable
- • Scrubbing off excess char with steel wool to achieve the right texture
- • Stuffing the breadfruit and finishing the cooking on low heat to meld flavors
Safety Warnings
- • Scotch bonnet peppers are extremely hot – handle with gloves and avoid touching your face.
- • The breadfruit and skillet become very hot; use oven mitts when handling.
- • Steel wool can scratch cookware – use only on the charred skin, not on the interior.
