Ladob

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ladob is a dish eaten in the Seychelles which is eaten either as a savory dish or as a dessert.

It was originally a dish eaten in large amounts by the early arrivals to the island due to the ingredients being in plentiful supply. It is now a staple part of the diet, many eating the dish several times a week.

The dessert version usually consists of ripe

sweet potatoes (but may also include cassava, breadfruit or even corossol) boiled with coconut milk, sugar, nutmeg and vanilla in the form of a pod until the fruit is soft and the sauce is creamy[1]

The savory version usually includes salted fish, cooked in a similar fashion to the dessert version, with plantain, cassava and breadfruit, but with salt used in place of sugar (and omitting vanilla).

Ladob can be served hot or cold.
