Lames Veritables Pesees

As mentioned in my previous article about Lame Veritable, this fruit has many preparations. Lames Veritables Pesees are my favorite way to eat this vivre alimentaire.

The steps below are the same as the bananes pesees ones. The lam come out crispy on the outside while still keeping their softness on the inside.

  1. Peel the lame and cut them into chunksBreadfruit, aka lam veritab in Haiti, is a versatile fruit. We eat it boiled, fried, pureed, as croquettes and so much more. Find out about it on the blog. | tchakayiti.com

  2. Fry the pieces in the hot oil until they turn golden.
