Breadfruit Oil Down | Simply Local
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- In this episode of Simply Local we felt it was important to share some history and insight on breadfruit with our viewers. We met up with breadfruit expert, Dr. Laura Roberts-Nkrumah of the University Of The West Indies to find out more about this staple in Caribbean cooking. A fruit that is widely considered "a ground provision that grows on a tree".
Then we head off to the kitchen where Renee makes and tastes Oil Down for the first time in her life!
We gained a wealth of information from Dr. Roberts-Nkrumah, so much that we couldn't fit all of it into one episode, so we will be sharing clips from the interview over a period of time. Be sure to follow us on our other platforms so you don't miss out.

I love this channel, and everything that you all do. Not only are you teaching us how to cook certain meals and delicacies, you all are informing and educating us about what we're cooking as well. More importantly (to me) you guys are spreading and being unofficial ambassadors of your country's culture, which I really appreciate. I can't wait to try this recipe for oil down as it looks scrumptious.
27thAve you have no idea how much your support means to us. Ultimately this is why we do what we do, to highlight and showcase all the wonderful aspects of trinbagonian culture that we may sometimes take for granted. Truly appreciate the feedback.
Could not have said it better than @Eatahfood but trust me the continued support and love you have for us is amazing. It's people like you who help push us and help us to continue grow. Sending our love to you. Thank you my friend ❤❤❤
This is a joke oildown is a grenadian thing dont spoile our thing pl
You are very talented! I am an International Executive Chef and I know a gifted person when I see one, and you are definitely Gifted. I tried breadfruit one day. first I roasted it, then made it into chips along with Ackee and Saltfish with Callaloo, and I fell in love with it. Dont be afraid to try something new..you will be suprised at what you can create with new things. Much love and God bless.
Must give credit to Grenadians & show respect 🇬🇩🇬🇩

Long time girl! Shocking to know that you are now aware of this dish. Looks delicious! You does always make me hungry yes.

Keep up the great work my dear..I get excited when I get the notification that you posted a new video...This was a beautiful dish.

Paula Ramdhan hahaha Paula I'm a pigtail lover all the way as well. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
WOW! THIS IS THE SIMPLEST FORM OF OIL DOWN I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Well, there is a first in everything, right?! In any case, I loved the seasonings you used, and the way that you sorted them first...! No doubt, the taste was absolutely amazing! Thank you!
Love this recipe, the pigtails takes it to another level. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work.
I love this channel so much! You guys make these videos very relatable and easy to follow. I have tried a few recipes from you all and it turned out great! Thankyou for the information provided as well from your interview Rene.This is a cool addition to the series. I would love it if you guys show us how to make a delicious wild meat meal, and perhaps your version of buttered cassava.
I love the yellow breadfruit. I make items such as punch, chips, pie and fried breadfruit and saltfish. Thank you for showing me this easy way of making the oil down. Thanks again Professor for such edifying information.
Thank you Dr for sharing and Chef
Love how u enjoyed cooking 👍👍💕💕💕 oil down all the way love it
Hey so glad to see your version of oil-down, here in Grenada we do it a little different but I will try yours...we have dumplings in ours and we add a bit of salt-fish and smoke herring for flavor...we blend the coconut with turmeric and curry as well. Feel free to include green bananas and sweet potatoes. The best dashine leaves are the new one that are just forming and we put lots and lots, try it...
We intend to visit Grenada soon to document your version of oil down. Thanks for watching!
Plzz do so, and don’t eat the oildown in a hotel you would not get the real thing, the best oil down you would get is “fire wood” orrrr if a friend or loved one cooked it for you by their home, trust me!!🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
Love this
I feel confident doing it now.... It looks amazing.... I used to think it was soo difficult
Very good information Dr thanks for sharing makes me appreciate more on wat we have an great recipe

Another great video Renee! Very informative.
Karlene Andrews thanks.😊
Yes, that was my initial reaction too 😆
I love it
Thanks for sharing! As I cannot get fresh breadfruit or callaloo bush here as we are sub-tropical, I’ll have to substitute with frozen breadfruit and spinach! Best wishes.
Miss u got to come to Grenada that's our national dish Trini can test us one love
My mom does her oil down completely vegetarian and does stew chicken on the side... it's quite delicious.
When i make oildown, i cut my bhagi into pieces, it really is a simple and easy dish to prepare
sap2587 yes indeed it is. All veggies or meat I'm down for this dish. LOL
I learned how to make this in Trinidad, the best food I've ever had !!!
Thank you for the information on the breadfruit im now a convert
This recipe is so simple I must try this version love it Trini to d bone
I live abroad this has been so informative. I have never had oil down. So will try to make it.
Great! Let us know how it turned out!
So I saw the video before and asked for a recipe for this lol i am clearly lapsing in my EAF videos. Disregard that request in the last video lol and thank you for this recipe!
No worries! Spend some time and do some catching up! :)
Great recipe chef
Please do more of the ingredient education. Really enjoyed the breadfruit segment of the video.
Thank you. We have a spin-off series planned for 2019 that focuses on the ingredients

I miss local Caribbean produces. I want to move back. I love fried breadfruit with cook down salt fish.
Hi love your cooking nice.
I love oil down I never made it but after this video I have to go on a breadfruit hunt , in trini it’s in abundance not so much here , my Grenadian friends grandma made it with both pigtail and chicken I never had it with chicken .. but it did taste well ...
You can get b/fruit chunks frozen at carribean supermarket it's called Pana .walmart also has it tostones de Pana
Love the video..very educational and chicken oildown does taste bess...
Jeniffer Khan-Beal thank you! Hmm giving me ideas... Curry breadfruit oildown with chicken?!!
eatahfood sounds great...with imagination we can create anything..
I want to taste it ! Maybe one day I will try it 😊😊😊
Renee Andrews u will definitely love it..sometimes the food we might think sounds weird..actually is d perfect combo or marriage..
I like to make smoothie with the ripe b/fruit taste so good
Do u have to use the dasheen leaves
I like your pot. I brought one from Trinidad to Oregon US but lost it one summer
Love how you lead with making it..but no pig tail in i own,,just pure veg
Everyone loves oil down! Renée plz tell my husband that
Nubian Cutey mine also...he enjoys it but I can't cook it as often as I would like.
Camille Harding my husband actually hates breadfruit/oil down :( and I love it :'( Dunno what's wrong with him! lol
Hahaha Nubian that's such a shame! But I can try !
Dear Husband,
Wherever you are please reconsider this dish as it has quickly become one of my favourites. Rest assured your wife will continue to cook with even more love when you give it another try. All the best!!
Yours truly
Renee.
awwww! Thank you so much Renee, you're such a darling :) He just smiled when I read it though lol
Respect...🙏🏿💯🌹💖
Wow, I’m shocked that you never ate it before. Great job!
Lydia Beckles I suppose I just didn't know what I was missing. Lol
It looks delicious, but my technique is different, I learnt from my grandparents and they loved in Calabash and love their enamel utensils as well
I love taking the very ripe breadfruit and after boiling it, i make a punch /smoothie .
The best oil down is with salt fish bread fruit Green Figs BONNET pepper Shadowbenny Tomatoes Lime Juice Onions Scallion. That is simple oil down don t forget the oil or else you can't call it oil down and you can eat it with a nice big buttery zaboca. That is oil down Simple finger Food.
I luv breadfruit. I make mines with salt beef. Ppl got really smart now, breadfruit is no longer wasted. Some ppl who sell it not even waiting for it to get full. They're picking it too young and bussing price on yuh. Smh
As a chef you shouldn't say a food is weird as you did about people putting chicken in oildown...it's simply different. Not everyone eats pork or meat. You should taste the amazing flavour smoked herring gives it.
I'm one of those people who don't saute the vegetables. And BTW, freshly cooked oil down is not the most flavorful. It has a more flavorful, coconutty taste when you warm it up from the fridge the next day. I like to add turmeric and curry to my oil down. They take it to a whole other level. And here's a secret ingredient not a lot of people know about: add a little bit of sugar to it - not enough to make it taste noticeably sweet, but enough that it's just slightly sweet if you're focusing on what ingredients you're tasting.
The only addition I like is green fig, but my mother-in-law puts other provisions in, like dasheen and eddoes.
If you want to remove the salt from the pigtail you do not have to boil it two and three times
Boil it once and then soak in plain pipe water it is the fastest way to remove the salt but it will still have the flavour of pigtail
I also use the smoked pigtail to add more flavour
I wish you've displayed the prepping of the breadfruit...... other than, that great video.
Your research should have informed you - that's Grenada's national dish...Authentic OilDown is done differently . What makes it authentic is the way the pot is packed! Never stirred , hence the nickname Steamdown!
Try making an authentic Grenadian oil down..it tastes way better and we don't stir the pot at ALL
Invite us over, we'll love to come and learn the Grenadian way
Wait... never had??? You’re not a trini lol.. just kidding. Am glad you made it and tried it. Gonna try it your way also
🇬🇩 Grenada national dish(oil down)🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
I want to eatahfood
Why isn't bread fruit an export to the United States in America,it would be a great addition ....
YES you Can get bread in the us a in the Spanish international stores
We don't cook our "NATIONAL DISH" like that but nice try at least it's not soup.....
Nah nah remember this the national dish of Grenada n nice try u did it you own way but please try the grenadain way trust me it be the best.....love u still
Canned coconut or real grated coconut
Grenadian oildown is much better
tell us about it. what in it that makes it better. I really want to know. love cooking WI food.
Missing a couple significant ingredients curry or saffron
That's not how you make Grenadian oildown.
What the hell she making, that’s not oil down dwl what😂😂😂😂😂😂oh no no no
I detest shadon Beni in Creole based food...too too powerful
Done care
This is not a Grenadian Oil Down for sure! Oil Down is Grenada's National Dish... not made like this.
It's Trinidadian
It wasn't meant to be Grenadian...please know that this is A TRINI station. She is showing you a Trini version....thanks🙄
@@colleenslocombe LFMAO but you guys get upset when others are making a Jamaican doubles or a Guyana stew.... please
Oil down is grenada national dish that's not how we make it. Sorry.
We done give a sh,t how you cook your oildown
