fish

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Tofu provides a plant-based option while canned tuna is more affordable.

thyme

🥗Healthier: oregano

💰Cheaper: dried thyme

Dried thyme is often more economical.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: habanero pepper

💰Cheaper: jalapeño pepper

Jalapeño provides heat at a lower cost.

Start with 1 liter of water in a small pot and add the whole fish to it.

Cover the pot and place it on the stove to start cooking the fish.

While the fish is cooking, wash and prepare the vegetables.

Peel the carrots and cut off any unwanted pieces.

Peel the yellow yam and cut it into smaller pieces.

Cut the green bananas into smaller pieces after peeling them.

Cut the potatoes into smaller pieces as well.

Once the fish is boiling, add the prepared vegetables (carrots, potatoes, okra, green bananas, and yam) to the pot.

Cover the pot partially to prevent it from boiling over, while still allowing steam to escape.

Monitor the pot to ensure it doesn't boil over, adjusting the heat as necessary.

Prepare the dumplings by mixing flour with water to create a dough (not demonstrated in this video).

Add the scotch bonnet pepper whole to the pot for flavor without cutting it.

Add 3 pimento seeds to the pot for additional flavor.

Season with salt to taste, but do not add too much salt initially; taste before adding more.

Stir the soup to combine all ingredients and flavor.
