saltfish

🥗Healthier: smoked mackerel

Canned tuna is often more affordable and readily available.

plantains

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: regular potatoes

Regular potatoes are cheaper and provide a similar texture.

Put salted codfish in water and boil it three times, changing the water each time to remove most of the salt.

Rub butter into flour until it reaches a bread-like consistency.

Add baking powder and salt to the flour mixture and mix together.

Add 1.5 cups of water to the flour mixture and form a well in the center.

Knead the dough for about 6 minutes until it comes together, being careful not to over-knead.

Cover the dough with a dishcloth and allow it to rest for about 8 minutes.

Form the dumplings into the desired shape, making them bigger than usual to stuff them later.

Fry the dumplings for about 8 minutes, 4 minutes on each side, then turn them on their sides to ensure they are cooked through.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil to a skillet and sauté chopped thyme, onion, tomato, and green onion together.

Stir in the salted codfish and mix well, then add garlic powder and all-purpose seasoning.

Add 2 cans of ackee, season with black pepper and salt, and gently toss everything together without breaking the ackee.

Cover the ackee mixture and allow it to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to let the flavors combine.

Stuff the dumplings with the ackee and saltfish mixture.
