coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: serrano pepper

Jalapeño provides heat with less intensity.

Prepare fresh mackerel instead of salt mackerel.

If using salt mackerel, boil it twice to remove excess salt.

Chop scotch bonnet peppers, onions, garlic, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, thyme, and grape tomatoes.

Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil (or coconut oil) in a pan.

Add chopped onions, garlic, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, and grape tomatoes to the pan.

Pour in coconut juice and add a pinch of salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Maggi seasoning.

Add a mixture of garlic powder and onion salt (1 teaspoon).

Boil the mixture until the desired consistency is reached, about 5 minutes on low heat.

Add the remaining seasonings and stir.

Carefully add the mackerel to the pan without breaking it apart.

Ensure the sauce is thick and flavorful before serving.
