SALTFISH AND ACKEE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat (the oil should be enough to just coat the bottom of the pan).
• Once oil is heated, add in onions. When they start to get soft, add tomatoes, black pepper, and ackee.
• When ackee just starts to get soft, add in fish and salt if necessary. You may not need to add salt because of the fish which is cured in salt, however, by soaking it, some of the salt flavor (actually most of the salt flavor) is lost.
• Once fish is clear and cooked through, and the ackee is fork-tender (it should break apart when pierced with fork, but not be really mushy), then your breakfast is done! Serve with ripe fried plantains and fried dumplings for a real treat.

• In a large pan with olive oil, saute onion, scallions, and garlic until onions are translucent. Add salted codfish and saute for an additional 5 minutes. Add thyme and peppers. Then add ackee and saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve.

ACKEE AND COD STEWART LOAF (ACKEE-SALTFISH-CODFISH-BACALAO LOAF)

Steps:

• Soak the cod in water the night before in the refrigerator. On the day you plan to prepare the dish, change the water and soak again for about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9 mini loaf pans with olive oil spray.
• Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the fish and boil for 20 minutes to remove any bones. Allow to cool.
• In a separate bowl, mix the fish, ackees, mayonnaise, and scallions. Using the various seasonings, incorporate into the mixture according to your taste. Add the breadcrumbs a little at a time, tasting as you do this to make sure you don't lose the flavor of the fish or the ackees.
• Once you achieve the flavor that suits you, add the hot sauce. Once again, use caution when adding hot sauce so you don't make the fish too spicy.
• Evenly divide and press the fish mixture into each loaf pan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until browned.
• Remove the loaves from the oven. Put a cutting board on top of each loaf pan and flip. Repeat with remaining loaf pans. Serve.
