🇯🇲 Jamaica recipe
Ackee and Saltfish
Jamaica's national dish pairs the delicate, buttery ackee fruit with salted codfish in a savory saute. Ackee arrived in Jamaica from West Africa in the 18th century and became a breakfast staple. The dish is a perfect balance of mild ackee, salty fish, and pungent aromatics, traditionally served alongside fried dumplings, boiled green bananas, or bammy.
