👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the salted codfish by soaking it in cold water overnight, changing the water a few times to remove excess salt. Drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, and minced scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and fresh thyme. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.
5
Add the prepared salted codfish pieces to the pot and stir to combine with the vegetables.
6
Pour in the water or fish stock. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
7
Add the sliced okra to the pot. Stir gently, cover, and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the stew has thickened slightly. Avoid over-stirring once the okra is added to prevent it from becoming too mushy.
8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the saltiness from the codfish when adding salt.
9
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot, typically with rice, boiled green bananas, or breadfruit.
