A Jamaican breakfast-table classic, this recipe cooks desalted cod fillet in a pan with chard leaves, onion, and tomato. Served without a starchy side, it makes a low-carbohydrate dish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Desalt the fish

20 min

Soak the salted cod fillet in plenty of water for 20 minutes, changing the water once.

2

Boil and flake the fish

10 min

Boil the fish in fresh water for 10 minutes and drain. Remove the bones and skin, then flake it.

3

Sauté the vegetables

10 min

Heat the oil and sauté the onion, tomato, red chili pepper, and thyme for 10 minutes, until softened.

4

Add the chard and fish

8 min

Add the chopped chard and flaked fish. Cook for 8 minutes, until the chard leaves are tender, then serve sprinkled with scallion.

Reminder

If you do not soak the fish in water long enough, the dish will be much saltier than expected; taste it and, if needed, change the soaking water once more. Allergen information: Contains fish.

Pazıyı 8 dakika yerine 5 dakikada kapattım, yapraklar hâlâ diri ama güzel bir renkteydi, tam istediğim gibi oldu. Balığı önceden haşlayıp didiklemek de servis anını çok hızlandırdı.

Balığı 20 dakika yerine acele edip 10 dakika bekletince tuzu yeterince gitmemiş, tabak beklediğimden çok daha tuzlu çıktı. Bir dahaki sefere suyu iki kez değiştirip tam süresini bekleyeceğim.
