But this is boljol not stew cod fish..that's what I thought you were going to do..I used the same method and eat with coconut bake or fried bake, as you know..great video though

Great video.. I love the fact you cook it with the oil instead of the pot. I have never seen it done this way and will def try it. I think I prefer softer onions and tomatoes but this way will give me a different texture.

I'm allergic to avocado unfortunately because I loved it as a child

Hello Dee, Very good recipe; thanks for sharing our recipes to the world! I've come to realized that many of us make our "Brule Jhol" very differently. I usually use all the ingredients that you've used, plus some diced red and green bell peppers. The bell peppers don't only look beautiful, but gives the dish a wonderful flavour! I also don't heat the olive oil, but add it straight from the bottle and mixed all ingredients well together.

Sounds good too!

Yikes! Thanks for all of your comments so many years ago. I happened to be looking at this video tonight and was encouraged that I was able to share something cool that "Mom" taught me. Appreciate the love. ;o)

[@Richardlw2001]

Thank you, my step dad from Trinidad used to make this before he passed and now I have been able to make this thanks to your video. I had been looking for the recipe for a while. Thank you.

[@ChefDeeLennoxOfficial]

Nice, glad I could share Mom's way of doing this dish. So yum!

[@Camicam1969]

Definitely going to make this! Looks totally delish!

[@donnasides4369]

how much olive oil? Can you list the ingredients. I'll try it.

[@forgetfulfunctor1]

It's kind of all by inspection and to taste. Enough to cover the dish I'd say, I also stir while I'm pouring so the oil zaps everything. This may just be me but I'll use a bunch of oil (like 1-1.5oz? I havent measured it out) to make sure its all cooked, and then ill dump the buljol in a strainer to get out the excess. Again, you make it according to what you think will taste good (are you a tomato person? How salty do you want the saltfish?) Then modify it next time you make it. Good luck :)

[@forgetfulfunctor1]

List of ingredients is again nonstandard. saltfish, hot pepper, onion, tomato, non-hot pepper (Anaheim or bell is good), & black pepper are the standard core. Garlic, thyme, and hardboiled eggs are also added. You can even add ackee to make it like a jamaican-trini hybrid. I also find jalapeno goes really well

[@ChefDeeLennoxOfficial]

Yes, correct. I used a good bit of olive oil, because I like the sauce that is creates with the onions and tomatoes. I probably used about 1/4-1/2 cup for 14oz package. The cod will absorb the oil so use as much as you need. Olive oil is so good for you too.

I don't think you know what your doing
