cooking dinner Antigua style sweet potato dumplings saltfish and spinach 🇦🇬

Grate 1/2 sweet potato and 1/2 coconut.

In a bowl, mix the grated sweet potato, grated coconut, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Add flour and enough water to form a dough, kneading it by hand until well combined.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding salt and oil to prevent sticking.

Shape the dough into dumplings and place them into the boiling water.

Boil the dumplings for 30 to 45 minutes, until they float and are cooked through.

Prepare the saltfish by boiling it in water to remove excess salt, changing the water up to three times as needed.

In a frying pan, heat oil and add diced onions, green peppers, garlic, thyme, diced tomatoes, and celery.

Add the boiled saltfish to the frying pan with the vegetables, seasoning with black pepper and any additional spices as desired.

Let the saltfish and vegetable mixture simmer on low heat until cooked through.
