Ingredients
½ lb saltfish
1 cup sliced onion.
½ cup diced tomatoes.
½ teaspoon scotch bonnet pepper
6 tablespoon cold pressed virgin coconut oil
1 ½ tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon bouillon (optional for if you over boil the saltfish and it’s too fresh)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the saltfish and bring to a boil, you may have to boil one or two times to remove the excess salt.
Peel off the skin and scales and flake the saltfish, removing the bones.
slice the onions, dice the tomatoes and slice the pepper. I prefer to keep the pepper bigger so that it's easier to take out when it's done.
Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onions tomatoes and peppers, once softened add ketchup, sugar, and bouillon and stir.
add the flaked salted codfish and black pepper, reduce the flames to low, and cover.
In 3-5 minutes it should be ready to serve with some boiled dumplings, yam, banana, or ground provisions of your choice.
