Add about a teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil.

Reduce to a rolling boil and skim off any impurities that rise to the top.

In a saucepan, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add prepared salted cod to the saucepan and reduce heat to medium-low.

Break down the salted cod into small pieces and add fresh ground black pepper.

Prepare a mixture of scallion, onion, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, bell pepper, christophine, pumpkin, okra, and tomato in bowls.

Add the vegetable mixture to the salted cod and stir to combine.

Cover the saucepan and let it steam on low heat for about 7 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Remove the mixture from the heat and set it aside for assembly.
