🥥 1 can Grace Coconut Milk
🌿 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
🧈 2 tablespoons Kerrygold Butter
🌻 2 tablespoons Wesson Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1- Prepare the Saltfish:

• Soak the salted cod fish in cold water overnight to remove excess salt. Change the water a couple of times during soaking.
• The next day, drain and rinse the fish. Place the saltfish in a pot of water and bring to a boil; cook for about 15 minutes, then drain. Flake the fish into pieces and set aside.

2- Make the Cassava Dumplings:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour and salt.
• Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
• Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly to form dumplings.

3- Cook the Dumplings:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4- Saltfish and Beans Preparation:

• In a large skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, sauté until fragrant.
• Add Scotch Bonnet pepper, green bell pepper, tomatoes, and thyme; cook until vegetables are soft.
• Stir in the flaked saltfish, mixing well with the vegetables. Cook for a few minutes.
• Add the kidney beans and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

5- Serving:

• Serve the cassava dumplings alongside the saltfish and beans mixture. Enjoy your island-style meal!
