1 Can of ackee, drained
1/2 lb boneless salt cod
3 tablespoons oil

Soak the salt cod in a pot of water overnight to remove most
of the salt. If the cod is still very salty, boil in water for
20 minutes. Drain cod and cut or break into small pieces.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Add the onions, thyme and scotch
bonnet pepper, tomato, tomato paste and green peppers. Stir for
a few minutes. Add the cod. Stir. Simmer for 5 minutes, then
add the can of drained ackee. Do not stir because this will cause
the ackees to break up. Cook for a few more minutes then sprinkle
with black pepper.
Best served with bammy, roast breadfruit, fried or cooked
dumplings, or fried or cooked plantains, cooked yams and Jamaican
sweet potatoes.
