Ingredients

  • 1 Canned ackee
  • 150 g Mushroom (Shiitake or King oyster) sciled
  • 40 g Onion Sliced
  • 30 g Scallion (spring onion) chopped
  • 50 g Tomato Sliced
  • 100 g Bell pepper Sliced
  • 1 Cloves garlic Crush
  • 3 Sprig of dried thyme
  • ¼ Scotch bonnet pepper Remove seed
  • tsp Black pepper
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil or oil of your choice

Instructions

  • Open the can of ackee, pour it into a colander sieve and leave it to drain.
  • Fire at medium to low heat, and melt the coconut oil (if you are using it) in a saucepan.
  • Add the onion, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, scallion, thyme and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onion softens.
  • Add the tomato and bell pepper and cook other for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the mushroom. Cook until the mushroom releases moisture into the pan, then add the ackee.
  • Add salt and black pepper.

Notes

  • I use coconut oil, but you can you any cooking oil of your choice.
  • Use shiitake or oyster mushroom, or a mixture of both. I like using a combination of both.
  • Pour a cup of boiling water over the ackee before draining it. The hard pieces of ackee will soften up.
