Jamaican Cabbage and Saltfish [0000727]

Experience the vibrant flavors of Jamaica with this delightful Gluten-Free Jamaican Cabbage and Saltfish recipe. A harmonious blend of tender cabbage and seasoned saltfish creates a dish that's both comforting and full of Caribbean flair.

Ingredients:

8 oz salted codfish (saltfish), soaked and desalted
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
2 tablespoons cooking oil (coconut oil works well)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Start by soaking the salted codfish in cold water for a few hours to remove excess salt. Change the water a few times during soaking.

After soaking, drain the codfish and shred it into small pieces. Make sure to remove any bones.

In a skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.

Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Add the shredded codfish to the skillet. Sauté for a few minutes until the fish is warmed through and slightly crispy.

Sprinkle the Jamaican jerk seasoning over the codfish. This will infuse the dish with the authentic flavors of Jamaica.

Add the thinly sliced bell pepper and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Stir in the shredded cabbage. The cabbage will cook down and absorb the delicious flavors of the fish and seasonings.

Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and cooked to your liking.

Season the dish with freshly ground black pepper to taste. The saltfish already provides saltiness, so you may not need to add more salt.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Once the cabbage is cooked and the flavors have melded, remove the skillet from heat.

Serve the Gluten-Free Jamaican Cabbage and Saltfish with your choice of gluten-free sides, such as rice, plantains, or gluten-free bread.
