About Boiled Green Bananas and Saltfish
Chris De La Rosa’s green fig with saltfish combines green cooking bananas and prepared salted cod. This Caribbean version uses the source’s traditional salted-water option for the bananas, with coconut oil in the fish-and-vegetable base.
Onion, garlic, scallions and tomato flavour the cod, supported by black pepper. Bird’s-eye peppers, fresh thyme and bell pepper are optional additions.
The cooked bananas are coated with the aromatic saltfish mixture, bringing substantial pieces together on the plate. Ripe avocado slices accompany the finished meal.
