Tracy: Hi! I am Tracy and today I am going to show you a popular Jamaican dish for you. Ackee and Saltfish, let me tell the ingredients, you half pound of saltfish otherwise know as dried salted cod, one tin ackee or 12 fresh ackees, one onion, one tomato, one sweet pepper, one piece teaspoon thyme, half teaspoon black pepper, hot scotch bonnet pepper and three tablespoon butter. So stay tune and I'll prepare the Jamaican dish for you. Alright, you better.
Before you can cook saltfish, you will have to put in cold water and put it in the fridge all the night, in order for the salt content to remove and you can change the water several times. After the most of the salt contents are soaked out of the fish, you're going to put it to boil for 20 minutes. After it is boiled for 20 minutes, you can strain it and put it to cool. And what it does, and also takes out extra salt. Now we can start to cook, the chopped pepper, tomato, onion and sweet pepper. Once the fish is cooked, we can prick in the flake and start cooking. Okay let us get started with the saltfish. Right here is butter in the hot pot now, let the butter in the hot pot and then I am going to add the onion, then sweet pepper, pepper, black pepper, and thyme. What we are going to do, we are going stir fry for three minutes, hey, after three minutes, we will add our tomatoes, do you smell that, seems good, look at the blend, you haven't seen anything yet, really nice, after putting the tomato, you put in your saltfish, have it mixed them.
After 10 minutes of cooking we can now add the ackee to the mixture. Well, look how colorful that looks, really colorful. Lovely. Soon as the ackee is heated, ready to serve. It is best served with root of banana, yam, Irish potato, fried omelet. You can serve it with any thing of your choice, any food of your choice, even white rice, it goes good and you can enjoy and this recipe was brought to you by jamaicatravelandculture.com.
