12 ounces of Salt Fish Cod 

1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves of garlic minced

1 med onion diced

1 cup of sweet peppers diced

2 spring onions chopped

1 tsp fresh thyme

1 scotch bonnet

salt and pepper

Place saltfish in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak overnight. Drain and rinse well.  Shred saltfish by hand.  In a large skillet add oil and garlic. Sauté 30seconds. Add onion, peppers, thyme, and whole scotch bonnet.  Reduce heat to low.  Add the saltfish and simmer for 5 mins.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with a saffron rice and a bottle of a crisp white wine such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio.  If you want to kick it up a notch an Albariño can be a good option.
