Ingredients

• ½ breadfruit (mature/ripe)
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil ((14-16g))
• 1 cup almond milk ((235ml))
• 2 tbsp vegan butter ((28g))
• 1 tsp thyme ((2g) fresh if possible but dried works too)
• ½ tsp onion granules ((1g) or powder)
• ½ tsp garlic granules ((1.5g) or powder)
• black pepper and pink salt to taste

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/356F/gas mark 4
2. Rub olive oil all over the breadfruit then wrap it in aluminium foil (you can wrap it with a layer of parchment paper first if you want to.
3. Place the wrapped breadfruit in the centre of the oven rack.
4. Roast the breadfruit for 1 - 1½ hours.
5. Carefully remove the breadfruit from the oven and allow it to cool enough to be handled (you don't want it to be completely cold).
6. Cut the breadfruit into 2 halves so you are left with 2 quarters.
7. Remove the core (aka the heart) then peel each quarter.
8. Chop the breadfruit into medium sized squares then place in a large bowl.
9. Use an electric hand held whisk/stick blender to make the mash.
10. Add the milk in increments until the breadfruit becomes fluffy and creamy (you might not use all of the milk).
11. Add the butter, thyme, onion and garlic granules, black pepper and pink salt to taste.
