Pick out any bad split peas and wash them before placing them into a pot to cook.

Cook the split peas until they are tender but not overcooked, so they don't mash up.

Prepare the saltfish by boiling it to remove excess salt, changing the water multiple times if necessary.

After boiling, crush the saltfish with hands to debone it, ensuring all bones are removed.

In a separate pan, sauté chopped onions and garlic until soft.

Add the crushed saltfish to the sautéed onions and garlic, mixing well.

Season the mixture with all-purpose seasoning and thyme, and optionally add chopped tomatoes or ketchup.

Prepare the rice by washing it and adding it to the pot with the cooked split peas, along with water (2 cups of water for every cup of rice).

Optionally add butter or oil to the rice mixture before covering it to cook.
