Salt Mackerel Rundown 🇯🇲

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: habanero pepper

💰Cheaper: jalapeño pepper

Habanero provides heat, while jalapeño offers milder spice.

Crack open the dry coconut and collect the coconut water.

Remove the nuts from the shell and wash them.

Cut the coconut into small pieces and blend to extract coconut milk.

Strain the blended coconut to obtain creamy coconut milk.

Add the coconut milk to a pot and cook for about 20 minutes until it becomes custard-like and oil starts to form.

Boil the salt mackerel for about 15 to 20 minutes to cook and remove excess salt.

Run the boiled salt mackerel under cold water to cool it down.

Remove the bones from the mackerel and mince it into chunks.

Sauté the chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, onion, scallion, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper until fragrant.

Add the minced salt mackerel to the sautéed aromatics and sprinkle with black pepper.

Allow the mixture to simmer for a little while to combine flavors.
