📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Breadfruit is called mā in Marshallese and has long been the staple of the atoll islands. It's roasted whole in the fire, peeled, and its fluffy flesh eaten with coconut milk. In harvest season it's also processed into preserved food. This home version uses potatoes in its place.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In an atoll village in the Marshall Islands, breadfruit roasted black is pulled from the fire, broken open, and drizzled with coconut milk.
