Seafood
Saltfish Buljol
My mom made this dish, when I was a young girl, Saltfish
Buljol. It is very delicious. We ate it for breakfast and it
goes great with Coconut Bake
(aka coconut bread aka coconut dumpling). Real trini cooking!
Ingredients
saltfish
1/2 onion sliced
1/2 teaspoon pepper sauce
1 cucumber sliced
1 tomato sliced
2 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoon of olive oil
Method
De-salt the saltfish by either soaking it over
night or boiling it (about three times) and throwing out the water. I
find this method is more effective. Sometimes soaking the saltfish
overnight does not always do the trick. The saltfish may still be a bit
salty.
If the saltfish is not boneless, remove the skin
and bone. Shred the saltfish into small pieces. Put the shredded
saltfish in a mixing bowl, then add the onion and pepper sauce.
In a frying pan, put the olive oil to hot. Add the
garlic cloves and allow them to burn.
The oil will absorb the flavor of the garlic. When the garlic cloves
are completely burned, turn off the stove and pour the hot garlic
flavored oil over the shredded saltfish and onion. Add the tomato and
cucumber. Mix all the ingredients together. That is it. Ready to serve.
To be a bit more creative with this dish, you could first put a layer
of lettuce on your serving dish and then pour out the saltfish buljol
on the lettuce.
You can also add a few slices of avacado. I could
just imagine how fantastic this would look and of course yum! Oh gosh,
my mouth is watering right now!!!! Enjoy!!!
