How to make it

Drain.
While that cooks, melt your butter in a frying pan plus lightly brown the onion rings.
Add the pepper, salt, lime juice, parsley, tomatoes and garlic.
Continue to cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the water.
Bring to the boil.
Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Slice the cooled breadfruit.
Place it in a serving dish.
Pour the butter sauce over the breadfruit.
