Ackee and Saltfish — Jamaican recipe

Ackee and Saltfish

Jamaica's national dish: salt cod soaked and boiled until it's fish again, then folded through canned ackee with onion, peppers and thyme. The fish needs a couple of hours of soaking before you start, so plan for that; the cooking itself takes twenty minutes.
