A flavorful Jamaican dish combining callaloo and salted fish, enhanced with crispy bacon and fresh vegetables.

Instructions

Steps

  1. Begin by soaking salt cod in water overnight to remove excess salt.
  2. The following day, place the soaked salt cod in a pot of water and bring to a boil. You should notice some foam forming on the surface. Once boiled, remove from heat, drain the water, and let it cool before shredding the fish.
  3. In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Once done, remove from heat and drain most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
  4. Add chopped onion, spring onions, scotch bonnet pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes until the onions are soft.
  5. Incorporate the shredded salt cod into the skillet and stir for about a minute to combine.
  6. Add the callaloo, chopped plum tomatoes, thyme, and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook until heated through, which should take about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!
