Ackee and salted "salt" Mackerel.

This can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  But since I don't know what early mornings are like and even if I get a glimpse of it I won't be happy about it. Lol! I'm not a morning person, so I often enjoy our traditional breakfasts as dinner.

Recipe:

1-2 salted mackerel, washed and boiled twice to get rid of the excess salt.
1 Can or fresh Ackee
1 large onion, chopped
1 large riped juicy tomato, cubed
1 scotch bonnet pepper (habanero), chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed, peeled and chopped 

2 tsp fresh black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Grace kitchen garlic, ginger, pimento seasoning ( optional ) Love this combination ever since I found it.
1 heaping tbsp organic/Virgin coconut oil
1 tsp real butter not margarine

Method:

After salt Mackerel is boiled twice and drained, pull apart and remove bones (optional ) and set aside.

On medium-high heat in a frying pan, heat coconut oil and butter, add Onion, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme and tomato. Cook until onion is translucent, around 3 minutes. Add mackerel and sauté for around 2 minutes then add canned ackee without brine. (If using fresh ackee this must be boiled until soft). Add black pepper, paprika and garlic powder and sauté for another 5-7 minutes.

Enjoy with boiled green banana, fried bammy, boiled or fried dumpling, Jamaican yam, potato, fried plantain etc..... enjoy!
