";s:4:"text";s:6541:"Hello Chris. I wish we could get this in Trinidad so that I could try it. thanks Chris. I use two forks and gently toss it with the other ingredients. I love your recipes and so do my family, i have never tried akee before but after your post its a must. This recipe is simple and it came out GREAT!!! BUT..I do add half a red bell pepper and 1/2 zucchini to stretch the recipe because the ackee is so damn expensive here. I just want to show my support foe a fellow lover of Caribbean cuisine……although it would be nice to win ..lol. I love ackee and salt fish but not with sweet pepper. The trick is not to break it apart, or you’ll end up with a huge pot of mush. Is there a substitute for ackee or something that tastes similiar? Well, I hope I win the book because I love cooking pasta! Funny thing is… becuase i enjoy your recipes so much was just looking at the book section for that book you have on your main page and ended up broswing all the cbbean cullinary books My gf is ukrainian and she does stew chicken very well but thats the extent of it haha! I made it and everyone loved it! ... the shallow-fried cassava bread called bammy. To solve this problem I buy Grace ackees for $4.97 a can in Toronto when they go on sale at my local No Frills [reg. !..will be making this from now on….LOVED IT!!!! My son is a very picky eater, he doesn't eat rice, but loves any kind of pasta. If you make it again tag me next time @thatssoyummy or #thatssoyummyrecipes on social media Hi it's me, Natasha. $7.97 a can]. So, if your looking for the real Jamaican deal……this is it.Just wanted to comment here that I’ve been making this ackee and saltfish recipe for 8 years now. I buy a platter of ackee and salt fish, 2 festivals, plantain and dumplings every Sunday!! love it. For a good hearty meal You need to add a can of chopped tomatoes and some Jamaican Jerk seasoning and some garlic before adding fish and Ackee. Just to remove that liquid it’s been packed in. You couldn't even tell what was served in the dish. Find some of the worlds most healthiest, creative or just plain genius snacks at Snack TV. O.K…… so now I have to go and get saltfish….My husband (deceased 19 yrs ago) was from Trinidad and he got me hooked on him : ) …and of course the food. Tried lot of recipes from the site and they never disappoint. The saltfish will soak up all that is in there and will turn dry if oil is not added. I never had ackee…but i love saltfish…adds flavour to any dish..yum!
I have even changed some of my own recipes I have used for years based on yours.

Thank you. Ackee ans saltfish is really yummy!!!!!!!! Hi i never had akhee but am a lover of saltfish but will definately try it…. tomatoe and spiced up with a local hotsauce… i try cooking it in many ways … some times even in a rice cookup , which also has Chicken and some kind of pork , like maybe some good old pig tails… Yum ,yum.. Whether it's morning, noon, or night, snacks play an important role in our lives.
So it goes without saying that this is a must-have recipe if you want to cook like a Jamaican.Mango chutney is a condiment much like a jelly or relish that is made from unripe (green) mangoes, vinegar, sugar, spices, and perhaps a little onion to offset the sweetness.
Have never had the ackee, but I'm willing to give it a try … like my mother always said, "how can you say you don't like something if you have never tried it". Then add more water submerging the saltfish inside. After adding the ackee, it takes a minute or two for it to heat through and absorb all those wonderful layers of flavor we built.It’s amazing how simple, yet tasty this dish is. It turned out soooo good. I'm from Brazil and I absolutely love caribbean cuisine! I think I will pass on this one I keep hearing that ackee can be poisonous so I am leaving it right where it is Ackee is only poisinous if they are not fully opened when they come fresh off the tree. Even though I wasn’t born in Jamaica I grew up there and feel a very strong connection to my mother’s home land. but i will.Hi Chris, just love each and every one of your recipes. In case we can get them here . It is very colourful, delicious and easy to make. Make sure puling of the leaves from the thyme stems. Like for you, ackee is crazy expensive but maybe I'll treat myself. Turn off heat, and cover for five minutes to allow the thyme flavor to penetrate. Even if you don't have fresh thyme, use the dried one – it is a must.
It’s simple, free and a great way to experiment with some Italian cooking. Hope you enjoyed your easter holidays. The cassava is grated then squeezed of its liquid and parched set in round ring molds. Your recipes are awesome Chris!!!
