Make the Butter Sauce
While the breadfruit cooks, melt the 125g butter in a frying pan over medium heat and lightly brown the onion rings. Stir in the 1 tablespoon chopped garlic, 500ml tinned tomatoes, 3 tablespoons parsley, 1 tablespoon lime juice, salt, and pepper, then sauté for a couple more minutes until fragrant. Pour in the 250ml water, bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
