Caribbean Codfish
- 1¼ lb salt cod or saltfish
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1¼ lb rice or quinoa
- 1 tsp dried or 1 tbsp fresh coriander
- approx 4 cups water
- 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.
