Buljol

First, we soak the saltfish to remove excess salt, then flake it into tender pieces. Next, we sauté it with onions, garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers, and hot peppers, creating a delightful balance of flavours. The end result is a savoury and tangy mixture that can be enjoyed in various ways, such as a filling for sandwiches, accompanied by crusty bread, or served alongside rice and beans.
