Callaloo and Saltfish-Free Cod Breakfast
A hearty Caribbean breakfast staple, this version replaces saltfish with flaked cod and avoids shellfish, served with callaloo (dasheen bush) and boiled ground provisions.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Callaloo (Dasheen Bush)
- 1 lb Flaked Cod
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 pepper Scotch Bonnet Pepper
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 lb Yellow Yam
- 2 medium Green Banana
- 1 medium Sweet Potato
Instructions
- 1Place the 1 lb Yellow Yam, 2 medium Green Banana, and 1 medium Sweet Potato in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the water and set the cooked ground provisions aside to cool slightly.
- 2While the ground provisions are cooking, prepare the callaloo. Wash the 1 lb Callaloo (Dasheen Bush) thoroughly. Finely chop the 1 medium Onion and mince the 3 cloves Garlic.
- 3Heat the 2 tbsp Coconut Oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the chopped 1 medium Onion and minced 3 cloves Garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- 4Add the 1 lb Flaked Cod and the finely minced 1/2 Scotch Bonnet Pepper to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the cod is heated through.
- 5Add the washed 1 lb Callaloo (Dasheen Bush) to the skillet. Pour in the 1/2 cup Water. Stir everything together to combine. Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat (350°F / 175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the callaloo is tender and wilted, stirring occasionally.
- 6Peel the cooled 1 lb Yellow Yam, 2 medium Green Banana, and 1 medium Sweet Potato. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- 7Serve the cooked callaloo mixture alongside the peeled and cut boiled ground provisions.
