Saltfish and Johnny Cakes

Wow! Amazingly deliciously good😋. I wasn’t planning to make this dish but Asenath gave that look and I found myself in the kitchen cooking Saltfish and Johnny Cakes ( aka fried dumplings). My mom showed me how to make this wonderful simple meal. Here is how it’s made...

 1 pound of dry codfish (boil for 15 to 20 minutes, low flame to remove most of the salt), chopped onion, tomato, green pepper with whole thyme, leeks and parsley.

Place your ingredients in a pan of olive oil (or oil you prefer) and then cook for 3 minutes, low flame. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Strain the boiled salted cod and add your homemade recaito. Gently place the cod in the pan with your ingredients, mix ingredients and cod together then add 1/2 cup of water. Cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, low flame. Enjoy 😊

Johnny Cakes aka fried dumplings 😋. Here is how they're made...

1 cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Then add about a cup of milk and water to create the dough (add more if needed).

Prepare your dumplings.

Fry dumplings until golden brown. Enjoy!!
