Jamaicans like to eat steam cabbage and salt fish with other food kinds such as bread, fried dumplings, cooked green banana, yams, potatoes and dumplings for breakfast or lunch in many Jamaican homes. You don’t have to limit this dish to only salted fish, you can use corn beef also. You can even use stem cabbage without the added stuff as a side dish or as a vegan dish.
Recipe:
1/2 lb dried salted fish (cod fish)
1 medium size cabbage cut in four (cut up cabbage as in the picture above)
1 medium size tomato (take seeds out) then chopped
1 medium size onion chopped
2 mini bell pepper (take seeds out) then chopped
1//2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves of garlic chopped
1/2 teaspoon jerk season powder (skip if you have none)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil (no olive oil, use what you have)
Preparation:
Prepare your dried salted fish (cod fish) by washing off some of the salt with cold water then put it in a pot with boiling water to get some more of the salt out. Let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. Strain of water and put it in some more cold water for about 20 minutes, take out all the bone and clean up like step 1 above. You may be using boneless salted fish (cod fish). I used the one with the bone. From here use all the steps above.
Turn this into a Vegan dish by not using the salted fish (cod fish)
