Jamaican Callaloo, chopped250 g
Plantains, green, sliced into coins100 g
Eggs, large1 large
Coconut oil1.3 tbsp (20 g)
Onion, finely diced30 g

Instructions

1

Soak the salt cod in cold water for at least 2 hours, changing the water twice to remove excess salt. Drain, pat dry, and flake the fish into small pieces, discarding any bones.

2

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced plantains and fry until golden brown and tender, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel.

3

In the same skillet, add the remaining coconut oil. Sauté the diced onion over medium heat until translucent and fragrant.

4

Add the flaked cod to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes to toast the aromatics. Add the chopped callaloo and cook until wilted and vibrant green.

5

Whisk the egg and pour it over the fish and callaloo mixture. Scramble gently with a wooden spoon until the eggs are just set but still moist.

6

Season with fresh black pepper and a pinch of thyme. Serve the scramble on a warm plate with the crispy fried plantain coins arranged on the side. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime if desired.
