Start by preparing the aki, removing the unwanted parts and showing the inside.

Soak the salt fish to reduce saltiness, then boil it with the aki for about 5 minutes.

Add pumpkin to the pot with the aki and salt fish, avoiding carrots to prevent overloading the dish.

Blend fresh coconut to extract coconut milk for cooking the rice.

After boiling the aki and salt fish, combine them with the coconut milk and other ingredients in a larger pot.

Add black pepper and a small amount of butter to the mixture for flavor.

Crush two cloves of garlic and add them to the pot along with thyme and allspice.

Wash the long-grain rice thoroughly to remove excess water, ensuring it doesn't become soggy when cooked.

Add the washed rice to the pot with the other ingredients, being mindful of the water content to achieve fluffy rice.

Cover the pot and let it steam, checking occasionally to ensure the rice is cooking evenly.

Once the rice is cooked, serve it with plantain and pear on the side.
