  2. When I worked in Jamaica, we made them with the ackee and salt cod we used for breakfast, as we had alot of codfish done.

    Basically we sauted some onions, green onions in oil and added a bit or turmeric cooled that, and then added it to the saltfish, mashed potatoes, egg, breadcrumbs and seasonings, formed them into balls, flattened them rolled them in more breadcrumbs with a bit of flour and seasonings, pan fried them until brown and kept them warm in the oven.

    Now we did these for breakfast and for our lunch buffet, as for sauces, mainly we did a fruit based curry sauce, we just add some chopped pineapple, banana and mango to it, but a tomato sauce or just a nice tarter sauce is fine to.
