👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Prepare the saltfish: Soak the saltfish in cold water overnight, changing the water several times. Drain, cover with fresh water, and boil for about 20-30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, let cool slightly, then flake into bite-sized pieces, removing any bones or skin.
- 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the chopped bell pepper, tomato, minced garlic, and chopped Scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
- 4
Add the flaked saltfish and chopped thyme to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 5
Gently fold in the drained and rinsed ackee. Be careful not to break up the ackee too much. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring very gently, until the ackee is heated through. Season with black pepper and a little salt if needed.
- 6
Serve hot, typically with boiled green bananas, fried dumplings, or rice and peas.
