If you were born in the Caribbean, chances are that you ate salted cod fish at some point in your life. I did, however, since I was a picky girly girl, and wouldn’t eat anything with bones, I must confess that to this day I only cook with salted cod fish filet. Now to this dish, every family have their own recipe and this my own friends. Enjoy it. Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: Overnight soaking and 35 minutes to cook Approximate Cost: $ 15.85 or $5.28 per serving Difficulty Level: _X___ Intermediate Servings: 3 Ingredients ½ pk. of salted cod fish.

Since it is cured in salt you need to soak it in water overnight to remove the extra sodium. The next day, drain the codfish, shred it well and prepare the recipe as follows: Prepare the frozen veggies according to the bag directions, is similar to boiling potatoes. When done and soft, drain, set aside. Prepare the sofrito by sautéing in the olive oil the onion and garlic. Add the cherry tomatoes, tomato sauce and Bay leaves.
