Fijian Breadfruit Curry

The breadfruit tree, or uto, is called the tree of life across the Pacific, and in Fiji it has fed families for centuries. When the season arrives, the fruit appears at every market and in every kitchen, and simmering it in a fragrant coconut curry is one of the favorite ways to enjoy it.

What makes it great: breadfruit soaks up the curry sauce like a sponge while keeping a satisfying, potato-like bite, and its subtle sweetness plays beautifully against the warm spices. It is filling, budget-friendly, and a wonderful vegetarian centerpiece.
