My PR friend makes the green banana one also

Will ask her for recipe, it has in green banana, onion, salt fish, vinegar, black pepper. It's served cold

Beg yuh come wid it

[Peasie]

See the real thing here although they say pick up "codfish"

The Jamaican version I know you only soak the fish - not boil it or cook it - as that gives it a nice texture. I would also add scotch bonnet to this recipe

[MsExced]

Here is how my PR friend do it

Boil Green Banana let it cool
Boil salt fish to get rid of salt
Saute garlic, onion, green peppers, olives in oil, add salt fish
Cut up banana in small pieces in a bowl
Add saute ingredients to banana with vinegar to taste

Beg yuh come wid it

[Peasie]

Gwine look some green banana tomorrow.

[Gen]

sound tasty but mi nuh eat cold banana so mine would have to be at least room temp


rich/sue-took me a long time to even attempt to eat onion raw. if I do it has to be thinly sliced (yuh can see choo it) and red onion preferably.

the texture of cooked onion is just

LOL @ Sue and Rich D - Rich are you allergic?

I don;t like to eat onions either but I love the flavor in my food - so I just cook with it and pick it out and put to the side if it land on my plate...
Otherwise I mince it very fine and then it cooks out in the pot - like when i make meat sauce for spaghetti

So pick up saltfish has to include other ingredients like the boil banana etc? or can you just pick it up and cook it by itself with onions etc?

I have some saltfish soaking - I was planing to make fritters with it... but oonu giving me ideas...
can't find no green banana here though...
They are all ripe
