Callaloo and Saltfish

Ingredients

• 1 bunch callaloo
• 1 lb salted cod
• 1 medium onions
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 whole scotch bonnet pepper
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 whole lime

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the salted cod in water for at least 6 hours, or overnight, changing the water halfway through to remove excess salt.

2. 2

   Once soaked, drain the cod and place it in a pot with fresh water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and flake the cod into bite-sized pieces.

3. 3

   While the cod is boiling, wash the callaloo thoroughly and chop it coarsely. Set aside.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.

5. 5

   Add minced garlic, diced tomatoes, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

6. 6

   Stir in the flaked salted cod, black pepper, thyme, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   Add the chopped callaloo to the skillet. Stir well to combine, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the callaloo is wilted and tender.

8. 8

   Chop the green onions and stir them into the dish just before serving. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added flavor.

9. 9

   Serve hot as a main dish, with rice or dumplings on the side.
