saltfish

olive oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil adds a tropical flavor, while vegetable oil is often less expensive.

bell peppers

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Zucchini is a lower-calorie option, and cabbage is often cheaper.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice provides similar acidity, and vinegar is often more affordable.

Soak saltfish overnight or boil to remove excess salt; I boiled mine in lime juice.

Break up the boiled saltfish into small pieces and set aside.

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot on medium to low heat.

Add and sauté onions, bell peppers, seasoning peppers, chopped celery, and garlic until softened.

Add a dash of black pepper, basil, oregano, and 2 dashes of curry powder; stir occasionally.

Once the onions and peppers are softened, add the saltfish to the sautéed seasoning and mix well.

Add a little hot sauce to give it a kick.
