saltfish

🥗Healthier: grilled fish

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Grilled fish provides a fresher option, while canned tuna is budget-friendly.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories, and evaporated milk is often less expensive.

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: pork

Turkey is leaner, while pork can be more affordable.

pimento peppers

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: jalapeños

Bell peppers are widely available and milder, while jalapeños add heat.

Prepare the breadfruit by peeling and cutting it into chunks.

Soak the saltfish in water to remove excess salt, changing the water if necessary.

Boil the breadfruit in a pot of water until tender, about 20-30 minutes.

In a separate pot, combine coconut milk, water, and saltfish, bringing to a simmer.

Add chopped chicken to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in chopped onion, garlic, and pimento peppers, cooking until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add thyme, bay leaves, and scotch bonnet pepper to the mixture.

Incorporate the boiled breadfruit and green bananas into the pot.

Cover and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Adjust seasoning with black pepper and lime juice before serving.
