  1. 01

    Rub the grouper with the lime juice, salt, and black pepper, then set it aside while you prepare the pot.

  2. 02

    Combine the coconut milk and the water in a wide pot and bring them to a gentle simmer over medium heat, about 95°C (203°F).

  3. 03

    Add the onion, garlic, scotch bonnet chili, dried thyme, and bay leaf to the broth and simmer until the onion softens and the broth smells fragrant.

  4. 04

    Add the pumpkin, plantains, and breadfruit to the pot and cook until they are starting to soften but are not falling apart.

  5. 05

    Lower the grouper pieces gently into the simmering broth and cook until they reach 63°C (145°F) and flake easily.

  6. 06

    Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Add the water and mix into a soft dough.

  7. 07

    Pinch off small pieces of dough, roll them lightly, and drop them into the pot. Simmer until the dumplings are firm and cooked through.

  8. 08

    Remove the bay leaf, taste the broth, and serve the rundown hot with the fish, provisions, dumplings, and plenty of broth.
