0:00:27 > 0:00:30- Whose kitchen are we going to today?- Hi. My name's Jenea.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Come in, come in.

0:00:32 > 0:00:37- Hi, Jenea.- This is my mum. - Hi.- Hi, Mum.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41And today I'm going to be cooking saltfish and cabbage,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43which is my favourite dish.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Jenea has her own special way of making saltfish and cabbage,

0:00:46 > 0:00:48with a mango salad.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Jenea's family are from Jamaica, where saltfish

0:00:51 > 0:00:53and cabbage is very popular.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Jamaica is a big island in the Caribbean Sea.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02It has warm tropical weather with long sandy beaches

0:01:02 > 0:01:05and wonderful mountains inland.

0:01:05 > 0:01:10Lots of food we eat comes from Jamaica, including sugar,

0:01:10 > 0:01:15coconuts and even cocoa beans, used for making chocolate.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Jamaica is an island,

0:01:17 > 0:01:21so the people that live there eat a lot of fresh fish.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Saltfish is one of the most popular fish in Jamaica.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Jenea's washed her hands, put on her apron and she's ready to cook.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33I'm making saltfish and cabbage for my friends.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37And she's invited Jaden, Skyla and Michael to try

0:01:37 > 0:01:42one of the ingredients in her special Jamaican meal. What's that?

0:01:42 > 0:01:47- Pepper.- I think it's a pepper. - You're right. It's green pepper.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- It's bitter.- Oh, dear.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54- I really like it. It tastes a little bit peppery, but nice.- Wow!

0:01:54 > 0:02:01- Michael likes it.- Very...sour. - And Skyla's not keen.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Uh, no, I don't like it.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Let's see what happens when they taste her recipe later because

0:02:07 > 0:02:12green pepper is a special ingredient in her saltfish and cabbage.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16As well as green pepper, you'll need red and yellow peppers,

0:02:16 > 0:02:20pre-soaked saltfish, vegetable oil,

0:02:20 > 0:02:23chilli flakes, dried thyme,

0:02:23 > 0:02:26fresh garlic, cabbage leaves,

0:02:26 > 0:02:30onion powder, black pepper, water,

0:02:30 > 0:02:33tinned mango, spring onions,

0:02:33 > 0:02:38butter, fresh coriander, and lime.

0:02:39 > 0:02:46Now we're going to get the garlic. We'll take the skin off.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49If you find this tricky, ask a grown-up to help.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53We're going to put it in this bag and mash it.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Bang! Bang!- Whoa!

0:02:55 > 0:03:03That's loud! Now tip it into an ovenproof pot, add vegetable oil...

0:03:06 > 0:03:11..some dried thyme, chilli flakes,

0:03:11 > 0:03:15sprinkle the onion powder,

0:03:15 > 0:03:17and some black pepper.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Now, Jenea, Give it a good old mix.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25And now we're going to get some saltfish.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29Jenea's mum has prepared the saltfish for her to use

0:03:29 > 0:03:31and left it in the fridge.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I got two forks to take it apart,

0:03:34 > 0:03:38but you need to check if there's any bones in it.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Saltfish is a really popular fish

0:03:41 > 0:03:43to eat in Jamaica.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Now just add it to the pot.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50It's important to wash your hands after touching raw fish.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Then it's time to give it a mix.

0:03:53 > 0:03:59- Now it's time for my very special ingredient.- Green pepper.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Green peppers are also called bell peppers or capsicums,

0:04:03 > 0:04:07and they come in all sorts of colours.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12All peppers grow green, but some types change colour if they're left

0:04:12 > 0:04:14to ripen on the plant for longer,

0:04:14 > 0:04:18going yellow, orange, or red.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Peppers were first grown in Mexico,

0:04:22 > 0:04:24and Central and South America,

0:04:24 > 0:04:28but now they grow all around the world.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Peppers are part of the same family as chillies,

0:04:31 > 0:04:34but they don't taste as hot or spicy.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Arggh!- That's a relief!

0:04:37 > 0:04:39This is my green pepper.

0:04:39 > 0:04:45So, what I'm going to do is push down and break it apart like this.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Now, you can see some seeds in it, so you have to take them out.- Yeah.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53When you've done that, tear the pepper up into small pieces

0:04:53 > 0:04:56and add it to the pot, like Jenea.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Now you can do the same with the red and yellow peppers,

0:05:00 > 0:05:02and then give them all a good mix.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Oh! That looks nice.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Then ask a grown-up to put it in the oven for you.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Thanks, Mum.- Now carefully cut up washed cabbage leaves.

0:05:19 > 0:05:24I'm going to cut the big white bit because it takes longer to cook.

0:05:24 > 0:05:30- Now we're going to start cutting it like this.- Cut up all the leaves.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'm going to get some baking paper.

0:05:36 > 0:05:42Then get yourself a nice knob of butter and rub all over the paper.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47- Now ask a grown-up to take the pot out of the oven for you...- Mum!

0:05:47 > 0:05:50..to do the next important bit.

0:05:50 > 0:05:56- Put the cabbage in now, Mum. - Smells lovely.- Mm.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now can you put the water in, please?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02And then put the paper on top.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Then ask them to put it back into the oven for you.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh! Thanks, Mum.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15Now I'm going to make my mango salad to go with my saltfish and cabbage.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18First I need to cut my mango.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Now I'm going to chop up my coriander.- Be careful!

0:06:23 > 0:06:28Next, let's top and tail those spring onions and chop them

0:06:28 > 0:06:29into small pieces.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Well done, Jenea.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38Add the chopped coriander and spring onion to the mango.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Then squeeze in the fresh lime juice and give it a good mix.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Mix it, mix it, mix it! - I hope my friends like this.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Now, if you want to make Jenea's saltfish and cabbage recipe,

0:06:50 > 0:06:54first peel the skin off a garlic clove,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56put it in a plastic food bag,

0:06:56 > 0:06:58and bash it with a rolling pin.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Tip the crushed garlic into an oven-proof pot with a lid,

0:07:06 > 0:07:11add vegetable oil, dried thyme,

0:07:11 > 0:07:15chilli flakes, onion powder,

0:07:15 > 0:07:19a good twist of black pepper,

0:07:19 > 0:07:21and give it a stir.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Now ask a grown-up to prepare the saltfish for you.

0:07:24 > 0:07:29Check it for bones and then shred it up like this.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Add it to the pot,

0:07:31 > 0:07:33but don't forget to wash your hands

0:07:33 > 0:07:35after handling raw fish.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Then mix it all together.

0:07:39 > 0:07:45Push your thumbs in and pull apart a green pepper and remove the seeds.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51Add it to the pot and do the same with the rest of your peppers.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56And give everything a good mix. Mix it, mix it, mix it!

0:07:56 > 0:08:01Pop on the lid and ask a grown-up to put it in the oven for you.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06Now carefully cut the stem out of the washed cabbage leaves.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Then cut up the rest into smallish pieces.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Spread butter onto your baking paper.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19And when it's ready,

0:08:19 > 0:08:24ask a grown-up to take the pot out of the oven and do this bit for you.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26That's to add the cabbage, water,

0:08:26 > 0:08:30and carefully push the baking paper, butter side down, into the pot.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Then they should put it back into the oven to finish cooking

0:08:34 > 0:08:37while you make the mango salad.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42Carefully cut up tinned mango and fresh coriander.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Top and tail spring onions and cut them into small pieces.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Add the coriander and spring onions to the mango.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00Squeeze in the juice of half a lime, and mix it all together.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Mix it, mix it, mix it!

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Now, there's just enough time for Jenea to get the table ready

0:09:07 > 0:09:09for her special Jamaican meal.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14This is my favourite drink. Sorrel and ginger.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18It's a traditional drink in Jamaica. I hope my friends like it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:19 > 0:09:23A sorrel and ginger drink sounds delicious, Jenea,

0:09:23 > 0:09:26and your table looks fantastic.

0:09:48 > 0:09:54Ha-ha! They like it. And here's Mum with the cooked food.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57The cooked saltfish and cabbage looks really colourful,

0:09:57 > 0:10:01and the mango salad makes it look even tastier.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Wow! Look at those colours.

0:10:05 > 0:10:11Mum's even made Jamaican dumplings and rice as well. What a treat.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Everyone thought differently

0:10:13 > 0:10:16when they tasted the green pepper earlier.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21Do you think they'll like it, now it's been cooked by Jenea?

0:10:21 > 0:10:25- I think that's really good. - I don't like it, I love it.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30- What do you guys think my special ingredient is?- Green pepper.
