ACKEE AND COD STEWART LOAF (ACKEE-SALTFISH-CODFISH-BACALAO LOAF)

Steps:

• Soak the cod in water the night before in the refrigerator. On the day you plan to prepare the dish, change the water and soak again for about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9 mini loaf pans with olive oil spray.
• Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the fish and boil for 20 minutes to remove any bones. Allow to cool.
• In a separate bowl, mix the fish, ackees, mayonnaise, and scallions. Using the various seasonings, incorporate into the mixture according to your taste. Add the breadcrumbs a little at a time, tasting as you do this to make sure you don't lose the flavor of the fish or the ackees.
• Once you achieve the flavor that suits you, add the hot sauce. Once again, use caution when adding hot sauce so you don't make the fish too spicy.
• Evenly divide and press the fish mixture into each loaf pan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until browned.
• Remove the loaves from the oven. Put a cutting board on top of each loaf pan and flip. Repeat with remaining loaf pans. Serve.

JOSH'S TUNA GEFILTE FISH LOAF

Steps:

• Using the steel blade in food processor, grind onion and carrot.
• Add rest and pulse till nice uniform mush.
• It is best to put this in a container and refrigerate overnight.

• Spread a large piece of baking paper on the counter.
• Place gefilte fish mixture in a loaf/log shape on baking paper.
• Fold top down and fold in each side till mixture is enclosed in a loaf like shape in baking paper.

• I then put the loaf in the freezer for at least 1 night.
• Boil 1 pot of water big enough to hold the loaf (needs to be wide enough and enough water to cover).
• Add broth ingredients to water and bring to a boil.
