Ackee and Saltfish
A dish of sautéed ackee fruit and salted cod, often served with breadfruit or dumplings.
Instructions
- Place the salt cod in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak overnight, changing the water 2-3 times to remove excess salt.
- Drain the salt cod and place it in a pot of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the fish is tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Flake the salt cod into bite-sized pieces, removing any skin and bones.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and scallions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Stir in the tomatoes, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the tomatoes are softened.
- Add the flaked salt cod to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gently fold in the ackee, being careful not to break up the pieces, and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot, typically with breadfruit, dumplings, or rice.
