Jamaican Breakfast-Ackee, plantain, Callaloo and Salt Fish and Egg

Writer's picture: Eman MahmoudEman Mahmoud

 


 

I wanted to make a healthy breakfast with a West Indian twist (I am half Jamaican and Egyptian).


This is a disclaimer: de-seed your scotch bonnet pepper. I have quite a high threshold for chillis but I couldn‘t even handle the intense spice.


The callaloo, salt fish and ackee complement each other so nicely. Then you have the sweet plantain. Of course, you have the light fried dumplings to each with. Finally, you have the egg done to your preference. This is a great healthy alternative if you want a filling breakfast. It will keep you going past lunchtime.
