“Haiti’s twice-fried breadfruit dish is called Veritab Peze. Chunks of breadfruit are fried, smashed then fried again for a chip that is nice and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside.” – Annick Megie, Tchakayiti

Preparation

1. Peel breadfruit and cut them into chunks; set aside.

3. Remove the precooked breadfruit from heat and press them using either a plantain smasher or two small plates.

5. Serve immediately with salt or Haitian Pikliz (optional).
