Amount per (100 grams) calories (103).
So we shall be making bread fruit eaten with garden egg sauce.

Ingredient

Bread fruit.
Garden egg.
Pepper (rodo).
Onions.
Groundnut oil or palm oil.
Meat (grilled or diced).
Fish.
Maggi.
Salt.
Locust bean (optional).

Cooking of the bread fruit.

** cut the bread fruit into slices after washing. Then boil for some minutes till it softens.
** if frying, go through normal frying process in Yam, potatoes and the likes.

Making the garden egg sauce.

**What you need
6 garden eggs
1 small onion; chop
3 firm but really ripe tomatoes
Some palm oil
Cooked prawns (dried prawns or bonga fish can be used as an alternative)
Spring onions or chives for garnish


What to do
Remove the stalk, wash and place garden eggs in a small pot and boil in water for about 10 minutes under moderate heat.

Check the garden eggs to see if they are soft, then remove them and plunge into cold water.

This will help with the ease of peeling off the skin.

Peel and place the garden eggs on a plate, set aside.

Heat palm oil in a pan and add the chopped onion and tomatoes.

Stir well. Then add crushed bouillon cube.

Taste for salt and adjust according to your taste. If the sizzling onions and tomatoes appear to be drying out, add a couple of splashes of water and stir.

Allow this to cook until onions have softened then add cooked egg plants and mash into the onion/tomato sauce. Stir well and adjust taste with some salt if required.

Allow to simmer through under low heat for about 3-5 minutes.

Simultaneously, peel and wash the yam. Then boil in some salted water. Cook until yam is soft. Check softness by pricking yam with a fork.
When cooked, serve yam with the garden egg sauce. Best served hot.

I hope u enjoy
