Start by gathering all fresh ingredients: tomatoes, onions, garlic, green onions, thyme, and pimento peppers.

Thinly slice 2 medium tomatoes and set aside.

Peel and slice 1 medium onion into larger pieces for presentation.

Slice 3 cloves of garlic and set aside.

Slice pimento peppers, checking for heat, and set aside.

Boil 1 pound of salt fish to remove excess salt, then shred it into chunky pieces.

In a Dutch pot, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium-low heat.

Add sliced garlic to the oil and let it sizzle for a few seconds without browning.

Add sliced tomatoes, onions, and pimento peppers to the pot and mix well.

Cover the pot to let the vegetables soften without becoming mushy.

Prepare the dumpling mixture using cornmeal flour and coconut milk, mixing until a dough forms.

Shape the dumpling mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Drop the dumplings into boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are done.
