Preparation time: 15 min
Total cooking time: 30 min
Level: Easy
Ingredients:
2 lbs salt mackerel
3 medium dasheen
1 cassava
1 sweet potato
1 medium yam
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 medium tomatoes, chopped
4 pimento peppers, chopped
1 med sweet pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
8 leaves chadon beni, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
Pepper to taste
Directions:
Wash and peel the provision. Boil the yam separately. Boil the rest of the provision together. Boil provision with about 1 tbsp salt.
Soak the mackerel for 15 minutes then boil for 10 minutes. Remove the bones and tender skin gently. (Note: Use a gentle scraping motion to get the skin off. I found that when I held the knife at a 45 degree angle away from me ( knife edge that is), to scrape the skin, it came off easily!)
Heat the olive oil over a medium flame. Saute the onion and garlic. Then add the pimento, sweet pepper and tomato. Allow to cook for 2 minutes. Add the mackerel chadon beni and celery. Mix thoroughly. Add a little water and simmer for two minutes. Add some pepper if you desire.
Serve hot over the provision.
