Ulu hash browns turn breadfruit into a breakfast-style side that feels familiar while still staying grounded in Pacific ingredients. It is a useful page to have on the site because people do look for more everyday ways to use breadfruit than just roasting it whole.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked breadfruit, mashed
1/4 small onion, grated
1 egg
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons oil for frying

Instructions

Mix the mashed breadfruit with the onion, egg, flour, salt, and black pepper.
Shape the mixture into small patties.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties until browned on both sides and heated through.
Serve hot.

Helpful Tips

Use cooked breadfruit that has cooled slightly so it holds together better.
If the mixture is too soft, add a little more flour.
Cook over moderate heat so the center warms through before the outside darkens too much.
