7 steps

01
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
02
Line a deep baking dish with the banana leaves, leaving enough overhang to fold over the top later.
03
Arrange the pork shoulder, breadfruit, sweet potato, onion, and garlic in the dish.
04
Season with the salt and black pepper, then pour over the coconut cream and water.
05
Fold the banana leaves over the food and cover the dish tightly so the contents steam as they bake.
06
Bake until the pork is very tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
07
Let the dish rest briefly before opening and serving.
