Wheat, gluten, corn, soya, dairy, egg & nut free Whether you are travelling in the Caribbean or not, if you can get some saltfish this will certainly make for a great West Indian dinner. Salt cod is a dehydrated fish, which is common in the Caribbean, and is preserved with salt so easily stored without refrigeration. However, salt cod is also quite widely eaten in northern Europe, Spain and Portugal so, if you do not have a Caribbean store locally, it should not be too difficult to find.  Ingredients:
11/4 lb salt cod or saltfish
3 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
11/4 lb rice or quinoa
1 tsp dried or 1 tbsp fresh coriander
approx 4 cups water Directions: Soak the fish in enough water to cover for at least three hours. Pour out water and rinse the fish one additional time. In large sauté pan or saucepan, sauté onions, tomatoes and garlic in oil until onions are soft – this should take about five minutes. Add the fish, cut up into 2.5cm pieces and cook for 5 minutes more. Add rice or quinoa, dried coriander and water. Stir gently so that the contents are evenly distributed. Reduce heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for about 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed – add extra if you need to. Adjust the seasoning to taste and, if you are using fresh coriander, chop it and stir it in before serving. SERVES 6 – PER PORTION
