mackerel

🥗Healthier: grilled tofu

💰Cheaper: canned sardines

Canned sardines provide a similar flavor and texture at a lower cost.

Add chopped bell pepper (red and green) to the pan and mix well.

Add thinly sliced scotch bonnet pepper (without seeds) to the pan.

Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the mixture.

Add chopped scallion to the pan and mix everything together.

Keep the heat on low to build flavor in the mixture.
