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.
