This recipe is a classic. It is a must try, even with chicken or beef. Thanks Chris.

The first time I ate an oil down was in Grenada and you're right it had pigtail, coconut milk, breadfruit, etc.
Without a doubt the best foods of Grenada is Oil Down and crab back.. OH MAN!!!! Bring back memories living in Grenada…..

Hello Chris. This recepe sure looks nice and I will try it one day. A good breadfruit is far and few between and hard to find . They are imported and not very nice most times. Hope to find a good one soon. Thanks for the lovely recipes you put on for our enjoyment.

Hi Chris, I must say that your dish look really tasty it made me feel like eating some right now. I do make Oil Down sometimes but I'd use Pig Tail, anyhow I'll try your recipe soon maybe tomorrow if I do go to the grocery and get the meat. Thanks again Chris for those wonderful recipes and do have a good day.

Hiya Chris, absolutely love your recipes. Have been receiving them for a very long time but never ever thanked you and have, for a long time, meaning to send a message to you, so am taking the plunge now. Thought I was a fairly good cook but your receipes give different twists. This one in partiucular "breadfruit simmered with stew pork and coconut" is great and I absolutely love oil down, wouldn't be a trin i if I didn't. Keep them receipes coming – great. Well you certainly have my support. You go Chris….

Wish me luck! Better yet, wish my husband luck! This is my third attempt at this. By far, this is the most reasonable looking recipe I found.

Margaret: the way the recipe reads is that the breadfruit is boiled then simmered in the sauce.

Breadfruit, malanga, jackfruit are pretty nigh impossible to find in the UK. Chris – you don't specify the amount of pork: I assume it should be 1 1/2 pounds; and the number of servings, 4 to 6?

Yes I will work with beef though I've never tried it personally. The fat in the pork adds a nice "oil" flavour to the finished and I fear the beef may dry off… but with a bit extra coconut milk I'm sure it'll be fine.

Hey Chris, love your rcipes. So concise and the pictures really clarify what the dish should be like while cooking. No guesswork, and I love it! One question about this particular recipe, will it work as well (meld with the flavours) if I use beef instead of the pork? I read somewhere that sweet works with pork well, but not necessarily with beef. (Not sure why, but it made me wonder how that fits in with BBQ. Probably has to do with pairing pork with apple/honey and beef with savoury stuff – but can't think of it right now). Back to my question, will beef work in this recipe? Thanks and really appreciate how well you keep up with your blog! Love the good eats.

Well I guess it appears at first to have several steps, but I am not from the Caribbean and I find Chris's recipes to be very easy to follow. In fact since I have been following them, my husband has ceased driving across town to southwest houston (we live in way north) to buy food!

Thanks Chris!!!!!

Another yummy treat for the whole family! This recipe seems a tad complicated to me, but I think I'll give it a try. It looks scrumptious!

I found the Breadfruit at Foodtown on Beltway and Veterans Memorial if anyone in Houston is looking for them. 2.99 each. You are correct, they had it in a section labeled Asian vegetables. I got two and we are cooking oildown now at 11:45pm we are so excited. Well we began earlier but it is almost done now. This recipe was very easy to follow. My husband had to help me understand the how quick the sugar and oil can burn, but that was the hardest part!

Have you tried any Asian grocery stores? They usually have them as well.
