This Sautéed buljol is a flavorful take on the classic Trinidadian saltfish dish. Lightly sautéed aromatics bring out the richness of the salted cod, making it the perfect pairing for coconut bread or roasted provisions.
Rinse the saltfish and place in a pot with enough water to cover. Boil for 15 minutes, then drain. Repeat if needed to reduce saltiness. Flake and set aside.
In a medium pot over high heat, add oil. Once hot, add onions, garlic, scallion, thyme leaves, hot pepper, and pimento pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the flaked saltfish and stir-fry for 3 minutes until heated through.
Taste and adjust salt, and season with black pepper.
Serve hot with coconut bread or your favorite side.
