👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Soak the salt cod in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water 3-4 times, or boil it in several changes of water for about 30 minutes until desalted. Drain, flake into bite-sized pieces, and remove any bones or skin.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Soaking overnight is preferred for best results. - 2
In a separate pot, blanch the cut okra in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to reduce sliminess. Drain well and set aside.

Add minced garlic and chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the flaked salt cod, blanched okra, thyme sprig, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.

Cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the salt cod to absorb the sauce.
