Coconut Milk Unsweetened67 g
Onions, raw100 g
Fresh Ginger75 g

Instructions

1

Soak the salt cod in cold water for at least 8 hours, changing the water multiple times to remove excess salinity.

2

Place the cod in a pot with fresh water, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Drain, flake the fish into large pieces, and discard any bones.

3

Peel the green plantains, slice into 1-inch thick rounds, and boil in salted water for 20 minutes until tender and fork-pierceable.

4

In a wide pan, heat a splash of water and add the diced onions and grated fresh ginger. Sauté until fragrant and translucent.

5

Add the cleaned, chopped callaloo to the pan along with the coconut milk and a splash of Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes until the greens are vibrant and tender.

6

Fold the flaked salt cod into the greens to warm through, allowing the fish to absorb the aromatics.

7

To plate, arrange a generous mound of the creamy callaloo and saltfish mixture alongside the boiled plantain coins. Garnish with a fresh grating of ginger for an extra aromatic kick.
