Wash the salted cod fish to remove excess salt.

Soak the fish in water for 5-6 hours or boil it to remove salt, cooking it outside to avoid lingering smells.

Boil the salted cod fish until it is softer, changing the water to fresh water to remove more salt.

After boiling, pull the fish apart into small pieces and soak in clean water for another 15 minutes to remove additional salt.

In a pan, heat about half a teaspoon of olive oil and add the strained salted fish, frying it for a minute.

Grate two cloves of garlic into the pan with the fish and mix well.

Add chopped onions, red onion, green onions, and marawiri pepper to the pan, mixing everything together.

Cut and add three tomatoes to the pan, stirring to combine.

Cover the pan to allow the tomatoes to release their juices, creating a stew-like consistency.

Check the stew, ensuring it remains juicy and does not dry out.
