Traditional Run Down Recipe

2 coconuts grated

1 clove garlic, chopped

2 -3 sprigs of thyme

6 cups water

3 stalks scallion, chopped

2 onions, chopped

2 lb pickled mackerel

3 tomatoes, chopped

1 hot pepper, Scotch bonnet if possible, chopped and seeds removed

Add the water to the grated coconut and press the liquid through a sieve or muslin bag. Set this coconut milk aside. Soak the mackerel or shad in water for at least 3 hours to remove excess salt, remove as many bones as possible and set this aside also.

Boil the coconut milk rapidly in a heavy frying pan until it is reduced to something resembling curdled custard oil. Add the fish, cover, and cook for 10 minutes on a medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, scallion, tomatoes, hot pepper and thyme, lower the hear and simmer for a further ten minutes.

This dish is traditionally served with boiled green bananas and dumplings. Sometimes the green bananas are cooked with it.

Serves 4-5
