Trinidad Breadfruit Oil Down | Taste of Trini

Oil Down is a one pot meal, easy to put together and extremely delicious! It is made with breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) , coconut milk, spinach (bhagi) and any meat of your preference, simmered down to form a thick soup-like consitency. Grenada's national dish is oil down but their recipe is different to how we make oil down in Trinbago. Here's what you will need.
1 medium breadfruit, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
1 lb of pigtails, boiled and cut up (trim off excess fat)
4-6 dasheen bush (bhagi) or spinach leaves
1 onion, diced
8-10 cloves of garlic, minced
1 hot pepper
5-8 pimento peppers, chopped
1 small carrot, cubed
1 small sweet pepper (bell pepper), cubed
1 pack of Maggi Vegetable Soup Mix
2 cups of coconut milk (1 can)
1 tbsp golden ray butter
1/2 cup green seasoning.
4 cups of hot water
salt
oil

I was in TT in 2010 and I ate this and fell in love with it...Today, 9 years after my 1st taste of it,I watched this video and followed the steps then cooked it in London for my wife. And she was like... oooooooooogussssshhhhh

[@ThisIsYourOnlyWarning]

Mobis Films I wish my husband was passionate about cooking like I am, so he could do stuff like this for me! Your wife is lucky to have a chef for a husband lol.

[@joymurray5172]

I love it

[@chelsieallen4849]

Yum this looks really nice i got such a nice feeling after watching tbh but i don't eat pork so I would use fish instead and if I'm using fish I have to make the sauce first and then throw in the steam fish last of leave it to the side

[@monisakinsale8360]

Nice I goin to make it for the first time

[@karenandisa]

this is a great recipe but if I were to use saltfish, at what point would I put it in? And do I boil it first?

[@TasteofTrini]

Thanks....yes, boil it twice and add it when the breadfruit is nearly finished cooking (the last 15 minutes)

[@karenandisa]

Thanks!! :)

[@nikkicross9639]

I love ur channel...

[@hiromiyamaguchi2951]

I’m totally trying this..I’m Polynesian and we do breadfruit too,..mahi

[@aleemellis]

Yeah sis I can work with that. Well done as always, looks amazing, Shame I don't eat the pig tails, but am sure some salted beef can work just fine. 🤗🤗

[@coopersdaughter1472]

How do pick the right bread fruit....should it be green or half ripe

[@gardnho37]

How ripe should the breadfruit be?

[@vishnooramdin8761]

Your bread fruit dish made me hungry from Toronto.guess gotta to come to Queens New York to taste it.(lol) I know a trini mixed guy from Toronto,he roasted a bread fruit in charcoal but I cant remember how he made.InGuyana we boil and fry the bread fruit and eat it with salted fish.they even slice it long and it and made salted chips.some people even cut it in cubes and put it in curry dishes.you are a pretty trini cook from new york.bye.

[@prlobediente4175]

With wich side dishes is this service , I miss the side dish by the receipt

[@margueritealexander8228]

[@marissas2744]

looks really good I don't eat pork so I will just leave it out

[@TasteofTrini]

Thanks, yes you can make it vegan or even make stew chicken on the side

[@amandaarjoon8367]

U can also use salt fish instead of the pork

[@daandesmond7427]

your food looks so yummy

[@K9D1C3]

this is the only way i could eat oil down. flavor to died for.

[@averlornejoyner6640]

Is there another vegetable or fruit that I can use to make this that is a substitute for breadfruit? I live in NC so it is almost impossible to find anything from the islands.

[@waheedakarim9804]

I use cassava

[@akilcyrus6289]

Yummy goodness 👍🏾

[@kaylahart9934]

If I made this without the pig tail do you think it would still have lot's of flavor? I want to make it vegetarian, should I add someting else to it?? Thanks!

You can ma me it anyway you want because it is Soup.

[@danettethomas9505]

We have to use dasheen bush

[@C.R.007]

May I ask if I can put fried fish, since I don't eat pork, beef or chicken? Can it be done this way R ? C.R

When in the old time days we make oil down it was a finger food with bread fruit salt fish prepare with onions tomatoes shadowbenny A Hot PEPPER Lime Juice with some oil and that was Oil Down You have to put oil in the dish to call it oil down .
