Spinach Cooked With Salted Cod Bits.
Call me crazy, but even as a kid I loved spinach (bhaji) in all forms and to this day I still can’t figure out why ALL kids don’t love the stuff. Over the years (out of convenience and availability) spinach took the place of my beloved dasheen bush leaves and what some people call Jamaican Callaloo (we call chorai) can always be found in our vegetable garden during the summer months. Cooked with or without coconut milk, spiced up with hot peppers and enhanced with leftover stewed meats, spinach is something I can have on the regular.
Here’s a quick and tasty way to serve/enjoy spinach with a Caribbean twist.
You’ll Need…
1lb Baby spinach
3 cloves garlic
1 tomato
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 sprig thyme
1 scallion
1 medium onion
1/2 cup salted cod bits
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 scotch bonnet pepper
1 scallion (green or spring onion)
Note: You can make this dish fully vegetarian by leaving out the bits of salted cod. But be sure to add salt and for more flavor, add a 1/2 cup of coconut milk during the cooking process.
Though the package said the spinach was washed, I still like washing it as there have been times when I did find some sand between the leaves. Try your best to get baby spinach as it’s much more tender and not as ‘bitter” as mature (dark green) leaves. After washing, set in a colander to dry. Take a closer look and remove all wilted (discolored) leaves from the bunch as well.
Chop the garlic, onion, scallion, thyme and scotch bonnet pepper… remember to not include any seeds from the scotch bonnet pepper as that’s where the majority of heat dwell. Additionally, be sure to wear gloves if your hands are sensitive and be sure to wash your hands with soap and water.
Make little bundles with the spinach leaves and cut into shreds about 1/4 inch thick.
Prepare the salted cod (I used boneless for easier work). All you have to do is place the salted cod in a pot with water, bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Then discard the water, rinse with new water and allow to cool. Then shred into bits. here’s a video showing how it’s done…
Heat a saucepan on low heat, add the vegetable oil… then the salted cod bits (you can use any dried salted fish). Allow this to cook for about 5 minutes.. it will start to go brown on the edges and stick to the bottom of the pan. Scrape and move around. The idea is to build a base of flavor for the spinach. Next up we’ll add the sliced onion, scallion, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper and garlic. Make sure the heat is on low, as we want these items to sweat down and further infuse the dish with flavor. The last thing we want is burnt garlic and onions.
After 4-5 minutes, turn up the heat to medium, add the black pepper and the chopped spinach to the pot. It will pile up, but as soon as the heat gets going it will wilt down.
As it cooks, it will sprout a lot of it’s own liquid and go from that brilliant green colour to a more darker shade. Place the lid on the pot, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes remove the lid (remember to stir every 5 minutes as it cooks), turn up the heat to burn off any excess liquid which may still be there and add the chopped tomato to give it some colour. taste for salt. Note that we didn’t put any salt in the dish as in most cases the residual salt from the salted cod bits will be enough to season the entire dish. But since your tolerance for salt is different that mine.. check and adjust accordingly.
If you’ve never used salted cod (salt fish) you’ll probably think this is a bit weird, but I assure you that the flavor will be amazing. My favourite way of having this (other than with flour /cassava dumplings) is with sada roti. Remember you can make this a full vegetarian dish as long as you follow the tip I left in the “Note” above.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for creating this website. I have lived in Toronto for 19 years and now in a Vancouver for 20 years. Finding you on YouTube is a blessing. Being African American living in Canada (Toronto) I became familiar with Caribbean cooking and love Curry Goat Rice and Peas (black eyed peas). I used your site for that recipe and the spinach with cod. My friends ate and licked their plates, wanting more. I am learning to cook the other dishes with your video help. I am a subscriber and 2 TWO thumbs up to you my brother!

Chris,
I've tried other recipes on other sites, but i must say all that i have tried on your site, sweet bread, sada roti, jerk chicken, accra, curry mango, to name a few, have all been successful. this weekend is my son's 14th birthday and we plan to have a bar-b-que- we serving pork. I'm going to try your coconut ice cream, I'm tired of buying ice cream that does not taste like as my son says "long time". I'll let you know how it comes out.
Keep up the great work,
Lisa

I'm trying to get my husband to build a fire pit with rotisserie so we can try your jerk pork. I would love to be entered for the grill book as I'm really working on better quality grilling this summer. Love all your recipies.
Hi Chris, hope you are not being cooked in that heat…It is so intense..I am enjoying your recipes and lots of them bring back so many memories. I love the grilling since it is so healthy as well as super delicious…Please keep up the good work…Thank you for all of the good things that you offer…
Me I am the winner! Now I know what you are thinking. Hey this guy is a Chef INstructor what could he possibly need with it…WELL, I kind of head up a club here at school on Island cooking and would love the book so the students could do the recipes and I could teach about the ingredients. You also see I have really gotten in to cooking in all of the islands because of you. Rcently I was asked to be the celbrity chef at the Aruban Food and Wine Fetiva. Not so much island cooking because they wanted Fine French with the sponsor MOET Chandon and Dom Perignon. But the influences of the islands is what I find facinating and would love even if I lose – could I buy one from you because I think this would be really cool for my student to cook and learn while they are doing it. Thanks MON – Chef G. Anderson LeCoron Bleu Atlanta USA

Most of all, l'm marveled at the modern quirk you've added to these childhood favorites. Love your site and achievements.
Thanks for sharing, and continue your good work!!
Hello Chris,

I LOVE TO FOLLOW YOUR RECIPES. THEY ARE GREAT AND ALWAYS EASY. THANKS A MIL!
It sure looks and sounds nice; but unfortunately, we cannot get salted cod down under in NZ, so I cannot do any recipe which requires salt-fish (salted cod). I would love to be able to get it. I really miss my salt-fish cakes, especially. Thanks, I will keep the recipe just in case.
The spinach looks so good. I love spinach. Minus the fish though

Being from the Caribbean, I miss having some of those good old Caribbean meals, I look to your recipes if there is something that I haven't made in awhile and need that refresher…..my favorite thing to grill is any kind of meat….ribs, chicken..you name it….
My favourite thing to grill? Oh my… . anything that isn't too small and will fall through the grill! But seriously, I love cooking whole chickens, pork, lamb or beef roasts on the rotisserie; something about the sound of that motor turning for ages while we sit outside with a cold beverage knowing that the dinner is basting itself, then throwing on some corn on the cob (has to be local and fresh!) and a foil packet of potatoes, onions, okra, etc as the meat nears cooking nirvana! Now I'm hungry, off to the store for a nice boneless leg of lamb:) It's 32 degrees out here right now in Edmonton, so I certainly don't want to be using the oven!!!
I love to grill shrimp. They cook fast and the multitude of flavor profiles are endless!
Just wanted you to know that I have made the Banana Bread you posted twice and evey one has fallen in love with it. The sour cream really keeps it mois. Thanks Chris.

I love Jerk pork on the grill. I use Grace Jerk Seasoning. My jerk pork always comes out great
with it!!!!!
my favourite thing to grill is pineapple and mango. I love pineapple and mangoes. slowly grilled the sugars is released and the fruit is carmelized and bai it's as sweet as pie. I grill these fruits and gave it to my friend and she thought I was stark crazy until she tasted it…now its her favourite thing to grill. |I've added these fruits rough chopped to the top of your coleslaw and bam…it was amazing. I also used the grill fruit to make your spicy pineapple salad inspired by mangoes…wow also amazing. but mostly I just top it with some peach yogurt and i'm good to go with a nice light dessert.
I absolutely love to grill jerked fish!
Pork chops, with grated ginger added to seasoning
