Recipe

• 1 soak cod in pot of water overnight or for atleast 10 hours.
• 2 in the morning, about an hour before you want to eat; put the fish on to boil. make sure the water just covers it.
• 3 boil the cod 2 or 3 times depending on how much you like salt, and make sure you change the water each time you boil it.
• 4 drain the cod and add the potatoes to the pot. of course you'll need a large pot. add enough water to cover and put the pot on to boil.
• 5 add the eggs 10-15 minutes before you're ready to take the pot off the stove.
• 6 it's done when the fish flakes, the potatoes are soft (not overdone), and the eggs are hard boiled.
• 7 peel the eggs and plop back in the water to keep warm.
• 8 to serve varies with almost every bermudian!
• 9 the main way to serve is to use a slotted spoon and add how much fish, potato and egg you want to your plate.
• 10 peel a banana and add that to one side of your food. get a few slices of avocado and add that to the other side.
• 11 when i was little i used to mash the fish, potato and egg together with mayonnaise or margarine.
• 12 you can of course just leave it all whole and eat with melted butter which is what i do now that i'm older! it may sound strange but it is really delicous when you get a bit of everything onto your fork!
• 13 the other thing is the sauces. it's all fattening, which is why most people eat this only once a week!
• 14 you can make a tomato sauce or a butter sauce to pour over the top.
• 15 (some people make an egg sauce, but i never learned how to make it because i figured i alread had egg on my plate!) :-).
• 16 if you're using a sauce, start making it when you put the eggs on to boil.
• 17 tomato sauce:.
• 18 just saute the onion and garlic in margarine or olive oil until the onion is soft. the amount of oil or margarine depends on you.
• 19 add the stewed tomatoes and season to taste. simmer for about 10 minutes spoon desired amount over your codfish and potato.
• 20 butter sauce:.
• 21 saute the onion and garlic in the margarine until the onion is soft.
• 22 adjust the amount of onion and margarine to your liking. (i like more margarine than most because i hate dry food.) :-).
• 23 season to taste and simmer for a couple of minutes.
• 24 if you'd like to try the egg sauce; it's pretty much just sauteed onions in butter with some mashed, hard boiled egg added to it. season it to taste, the amounts of the ingredients are left to you!
• 25 pour desired amount over your codfish and potato and enjoy!
