Jamaican Mackerel Rundown with Boiled Bananas

Ingredients

• 2 Dosen (je 150g) canned mackerel in brine or oil, drained
• 1 Dose (400ml) coconut milk
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 Scotch Bonnet pepper, deseeded and minced (optional)
• 1 Zweig sprig of thyme
• ½ Teelöffel black pepper
• 4 green bananas (cooking bananas), peeled and halved

Instructions

1. Drain the mackerel and flake it into bite-sized pieces. If using mackerel in brine, soak it in water for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse to remove excess salt.
2. In a pot, bring the coconut milk to a simmer over medium heat.
3. Add the onion, garlic, red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, and Scotch Bonnet pepper (if using). Stir and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
4. Add the thyme and black pepper. Gently fold in the flaked mackerel. Continue to simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, boil the green bananas in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain.
6. Serve the Mackerel Rundown hot with the boiled green bananas.
