Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, cook the green fig. Then remove the skin.
- Note: Add a few drops of oil to the water to prevent the pot from getting sticky and hard to clean.
- Dice the green fig and set aside.
- Cook the saltfish and remove the fish bones, if there are any. Break the saltfish into small pieces.
- Saute the onion, pimento, and garlic. Add the tomatoes and leave to cook for about 5 minutes. Then add the saltfish and tomato paste. Cook for another 3 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Set aside.
- To the diced green fig, add paprika, allspice powder, garlic powder, onion powder, butter and parsley. Mix well.
- In a bowl mix the two cheeses. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, the cooking cream and the beaten egg. Mix well.
- Place half of the green fig mixture in a greased baking dish. Top with the stewed saltfish. Pour the rest of the greenfig mixture over the stewed saltfish. Finally spread the rest of the grated cheese over the pie.
- Place in a 350 degrees F oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the pie is golden on the top.
