SUBMITTED BY: JulieMango 

"A favorite Sunday morning breakfast on the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean. Saltfish can be found in many grocery stores, ask your grocer to help you locate it. Serve this dish with sliced hard boiled eggs or simply serve with toast."

  • 8 ounces salted cod fish

  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
