#Mycookbook A twist on the Jamaican national dish. Great with friends and an ice cold Red Stripe beer! Enjoy! (Makes about 2 dozen)

Steps

1

Wash and rinse the saltfish, then boil/cook the salt fish, drain then bring to boil again, cool then continue with the rest of the recipe (this is to mainly cook out all that extra salt)
2

Drain and rinse the can of ackee and set aside.
3

Using your hands, shred the saltfish in a large bowl
4

Add the rest of the ingredients, except the ackee and oil and mix to combine.
5

Slowly fold in the ackee, trying not to mush it too much (you want some bigger pieces in there)
6

Heat the oil in a pan to medium, drop spoonfuls of mixture and fry until golden brown. ENJOY! 😊
