salt mackerel

🥗Healthier: fresh mackerel

💰Cheaper: canned mackerel

Canned mackerel is often less expensive and easier to find.

1

Prepare the salt mackerel by deboning and shredding it off camera, using about 2 cups total.

2

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pot over medium-low heat.

3

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, and scallions; sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until translucent.

4

Add 4 cups of homemade coconut milk to the pot and bring to a boil, allowing it to thicken to a custard-like consistency for about 10 minutes.

5

Stir in the sautéed vegetables and the shredded mackerel into the pot.

6

Season with black pepper and all-purpose seasoning, avoiding additional salt.

7

Cook uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until the coconut oil separates and floats to the top.
