Tonmtonm ak Bouyon (Breadfruit Mash & Soup)
🥣
Photo coming soon
Diners pinch off small balls of the mash with their fingers and dip them straight into the communal soup bowl, a technique locals liken to fufu across the Atlantic in West Africa.
Boiled breadfruit and okra are pounded together in a wooden mortar into a smooth, stretchy mash, served swimming in a spiced seafood or vegetable bouillon ladled from big pots at Jérémie's market.
Why it's made this way: Jérémie and the surrounding Grand'Anse department grow breadfruit abundantly, and pounding it into tonmtonm is considered the region's defining culinary tradition.
