Ever since I have realized that I can remove the salt from salt fish without boiling it, I always have a little container of the stuff in the fridge – to cook with vegetables, ground provisions, rice, potatoes or just on its own.
Fridays are generally very long for me. It is a day that I do not cook but there is always something left over from during the week that I can quickly heat up or put together; that’s how these patties came about. In the refrigerator I had a container with boiled cassava and then another container with de-salted salt fish. I thought of frying (sautéing) the two together
