👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 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.

   💡 전문가 팁: Soaking overnight is preferred for best results.
2. 2

   In a separate pot, blanch the cut okra in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to reduce sliminess. Drain well and set aside.

   ⏱️ 2-3 minutes
3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

   ⏱️ 5-7 minutes
4. 4

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

   ⏱️ 1 minute
5. 5

   Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 5 minutes.

   ⏱️ 5 minutes
6. 6

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

   💡 전문가 팁: Be careful not to over-stir, which can make the okra mushy.
7. 7

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

   ⏱️ 15-20 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: The dish should be moist but not soupy.
8. 8

   Remove the thyme sprig. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (salt cod is already salty).

   💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot.
