Fried Saltfish and Ground Provision

Fried Saltfish and Provision is a very simple dish that I remember my mother preparing with left over Ground Provision.

Method
Put the saltfish in a pot of water and put the pot on the stove. Allow the water to boil, after 5 minutes, throw out the water and fill the pot with water again and allow to boil. Repeat this step three times. This is to wash out as much salt from the saltfish as possible.

Peel the provision, cut them into medium squares (the provision cooks faster when they are cut into smaller pieces) and place in a pot of water. Put this pot on the stove and allow the provision to cook. After about 15 minutes, use a fork to pierce the provision check to see if they are cook. If the fork goes easily through the provision easily, it is cooked.

Clean (remove the bones - to avoid this you can purchase some boneless saltfish)and shred the saltfish into smaller pieces. Put a sauce pot on the stove to hot and add some olive or coconut oil. Add the diced onion and allow the onion to saute for about three minutes. Add the shredded saltfish. Add some pepper sauce (optional) and oregano (I like oregano). Let the saltfish fry.

Add the provision and mix everything together.
