-Whose kitchen are we going to today?

-Hi. My name's Jenea.

0:00:270:00:30

Come in, come in.

0:00:300:00:32

-Hi, Jenea.

-This is my mum.

-Hi.

-Hi, Mum.

0:00:320:00:37

And today I'm going to be cooking saltfish and cabbage,

0:00:370:00:41

which is my favourite dish.

0:00:410:00:43

Jenea has her own special way of making saltfish and cabbage,

0:00:430:00:46

with a mango salad.

0:00:460:00:48

Jenea's family are from Jamaica, where saltfish

0:00:480:00:51

and cabbage is very popular.

0:00:510:00:53

Jamaica is a big island in the Caribbean Sea.

0:00:550:00:58

It has warm tropical weather with long sandy beaches

0:00:580:01:02

and wonderful mountains inland.

0:01:020:01:05

Lots of food we eat comes from Jamaica, including sugar,

0:01:050:01:10

coconuts and even cocoa beans, used for making chocolate.

0:01:100:01:15

Jamaica is an island,

0:01:150:01:17

so the people that live there eat a lot of fresh fish.

0:01:170:01:21

Saltfish is one of the most popular fish in Jamaica.

0:01:210:01:25

Jenea's washed her hands, put on her apron and she's ready to cook.

0:01:250:01:29

I'm making saltfish and cabbage for my friends.

0:01:290:01:33

And she's invited Jaden, Skyla and Michael to try

0:01:330:01:37

one of the ingredients in her special Jamaican meal. What's that?

0:01:370:01:42

-Pepper.

-I think it's a pepper.

-You're right. It's green pepper.

0:01:420:01:47

-It's bitter.

-Oh, dear.

0:01:470:01:49

-I really like it. It tastes a little bit peppery, but nice.

-Wow!

0:01:490:01:54

-Michael likes it.

-Very...sour.

-And Skyla's not keen.

0:01:540:02:01

Uh, no, I don't like it.

0:02:010:02:03

Let's see what happens when they taste her recipe later because

0:02:030:02:07

green pepper is a special ingredient in her saltfish and cabbage.

0:02:070:02:12

As well as green pepper, you'll need red and yellow peppers,

0:02:120:02:16

pre-soaked saltfish, vegetable oil,

0:02:160:02:20

chilli flakes, dried thyme,

0:02:200:02:23

fresh garlic, cabbage leaves,

0:02:230:02:26

onion powder, black pepper, water,

0:02:260:02:30

tinned mango, spring onions,

0:02:300:02:33

butter, fresh coriander, and lime.

0:02:330:02:38

Now we're going to get the garlic. We'll take the skin off.

0:02:390:02:46

If you find this tricky, ask a grown-up to help.

0:02:460:02:49

We're going to put it in this bag and mash it.

0:02:490:02:53

-Bang! Bang!

-Whoa!

0:02:530:02:55

That's loud! Now tip it into an ovenproof pot, add vegetable oil...

0:02:550:03:03

..some dried thyme, chilli flakes,

0:03:060:03:11

sprinkle the onion powder,

0:03:110:03:15

and some black pepper.

0:03:150:03:17

Now, Jenea, Give it a good old mix.

0:03:180:03:22

And now we're going to get some saltfish.

0:03:220:03:25

Jenea's mum has prepared the saltfish for her to use

0:03:250:03:29

and left it in the fridge.

0:03:290:03:31

I got two forks to take it apart,

0:03:310:03:34

but you need to check if there's any bones in it.

0:03:340:03:38

Saltfish is a really popular fish

0:03:380:03:41

to eat in Jamaica.

0:03:410:03:43

Now just add it to the pot.

0:03:440:03:46

It's important to wash your hands after touching raw fish.

0:03:460:03:50

Then it's time to give it a mix.

0:03:500:03:53

-Now it's time for my very special ingredient.

-Green pepper.

0:03:530:03:59

Green peppers are also called bell peppers or capsicums,

0:03:590:04:03

and they come in all sorts of colours.

0:04:030:04:07

All peppers grow green, but some types change colour if they're left

0:04:070:04:12

to ripen on the plant for longer,

0:04:120:04:14

going yellow, orange, or red.

0:04:140:04:18

Peppers were first grown in Mexico,

0:04:190:04:22

and Central and South America,

0:04:220:04:24

but now they grow all around the world.

0:04:240:04:28

Peppers are part of the same family as chillies,

0:04:280:04:31

but they don't taste as hot or spicy.

0:04:310:04:34

-Arggh!

-That's a relief!

0:04:340:04:37

This is my green pepper.

0:04:370:04:39

So, what I'm going to do is push down and break it apart like this.

0:04:390:04:45

-Now, you can see some seeds in it, so you have to take them out.

-Yeah.

0:04:450:04:49

When you've done that, tear the pepper up into small pieces

0:04:490:04:53

and add it to the pot, like Jenea.

0:04:530:04:56

Now you can do the same with the red and yellow peppers,

0:04:560:05:00

and then give them all a good mix.

0:05:000:05:02

Oh! That looks nice.

0:05:020:05:04

Then ask a grown-up to put it in the oven for you.

0:05:060:05:10

-Thanks, Mum.

-Now carefully cut up washed cabbage leaves.

0:05:150:05:19

I'm going to cut the big white bit because it takes longer to cook.

0:05:190:05:24

-Now we're going to start cutting it like this.

-Cut up all the leaves.

0:05:240:05:30

I'm going to get some baking paper.

0:05:330:05:36

Then get yourself a nice knob of butter and rub all over the paper.

0:05:360:05:42

-Now ask a grown-up to take the pot out of the oven for you...

-Mum!

0:05:420:05:47

..to do the next important bit.

0:05:470:05:50

-Put the cabbage in now, Mum.

-Smells lovely.

-Mm.

0:05:500:05:56

Now can you put the water in, please?

0:05:560:05:59

And then put the paper on top.

0:05:590:06:02

Then ask them to put it back into the oven for you.

0:06:020:06:06

Oh! Thanks, Mum.

0:06:080:06:10

Now I'm going to make my mango salad to go with my saltfish and cabbage.

0:06:100:06:15

First I need to cut my mango.

0:06:150:06:18

-Now I'm going to chop up my coriander.

-Be careful!

0:06:190:06:23

Next, let's top and tail those spring onions and chop them

0:06:230:06:28

into small pieces.

0:06:280:06:29

Well done, Jenea.

0:06:310:06:33

Add the chopped coriander and spring onion to the mango.

0:06:330:06:38

Then squeeze in the fresh lime juice and give it a good mix.

0:06:380:06:42

-Mix it, mix it, mix it!

-I hope my friends like this.

0:06:420:06:46

Now, if you want to make Jenea's saltfish and cabbage recipe,

0:06:460:06:50

first peel the skin off a garlic clove,

0:06:500:06:54

put it in a plastic food bag,

0:06:540:06:56

and bash it with a rolling pin.

0:06:560:06:58

Tip the crushed garlic into an oven-proof pot with a lid,

0:07:010:07:06

add vegetable oil, dried thyme,

0:07:060:07:11

chilli flakes, onion powder,

0:07:110:07:15

a good twist of black pepper,

0:07:150:07:19

and give it a stir.

0:07:190:07:21

Now ask a grown-up to prepare the saltfish for you.

0:07:210:07:24

Check it for bones and then shred it up like this.

0:07:240:07:29

Add it to the pot,

0:07:290:07:31

but don't forget to wash your hands

0:07:310:07:33

after handling raw fish.

0:07:330:07:35

Then mix it all together.

0:07:350:07:37

Push your thumbs in and pull apart a green pepper and remove the seeds.

0:07:390:07:45

Add it to the pot and do the same with the rest of your peppers.

0:07:460:07:51

And give everything a good mix. Mix it, mix it, mix it!

0:07:510:07:56

Pop on the lid and ask a grown-up to put it in the oven for you.

0:07:560:08:01

Now carefully cut the stem out of the washed cabbage leaves.

0:08:010:08:06

Then cut up the rest into smallish pieces.

0:08:060:08:09

Spread butter onto your baking paper.

0:08:130:08:17

And when it's ready,

0:08:170:08:19

ask a grown-up to take the pot out of the oven and do this bit for you.

0:08:190:08:24

That's to add the cabbage, water,

0:08:240:08:26

and carefully push the baking paper, butter side down, into the pot.

0:08:260:08:30

Then they should put it back into the oven to finish cooking

0:08:300:08:34

while you make the mango salad.

0:08:340:08:37

Carefully cut up tinned mango and fresh coriander.

0:08:370:08:42

Top and tail spring onions and cut them into small pieces.

0:08:430:08:47

Add the coriander and spring onions to the mango.

0:08:500:08:54

Squeeze in the juice of half a lime, and mix it all together.

0:08:550:09:00

Mix it, mix it, mix it!

0:09:000:09:02

Now, there's just enough time for Jenea to get the table ready

0:09:030:09:07

for her special Jamaican meal.

0:09:070:09:09

This is my favourite drink. Sorrel and ginger.

0:09:110:09:14

It's a traditional drink in Jamaica. I hope my friends like it.

0:09:140:09:18

DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:180:09:19

A sorrel and ginger drink sounds delicious, Jenea,

0:09:190:09:23

and your table looks fantastic.

0:09:230:09:26

-ALL:

-Hi, Jenea!

0:09:260:09:28

Now, everyone's washed their hands and they're ready to eat.

0:09:300:09:34

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

0:09:340:09:36

You've got a sorrel and ginger drink. It's from Jamaica.

0:09:380:09:42

It's like a tradition to drink it there.

0:09:420:09:46

I think that's really good.

0:09:460:09:48

Ha-ha! They like it. And here's Mum with the cooked food.

0:09:480:09:54

The cooked saltfish and cabbage looks really colourful,

0:09:540:09:57

and the mango salad makes it look even tastier.

0:09:570:10:01

Wow! Look at those colours.

0:10:010:10:03

Mum's even made Jamaican dumplings and rice as well. What a treat.

0:10:050:10:11

Everyone thought differently

0:10:110:10:13

when they tasted the green pepper earlier.

0:10:130:10:16

Do you think they'll like it, now it's been cooked by Jenea?

0:10:160:10:21

-I think that's really good.

-I don't like it, I love it.

0:10:210:10:25

-What do you guys think my special ingredient is?

-Green pepper.

0:10:250:10:30

Green pepper? Yep.

0:10:300:10:32

What do you think of the green pepper, now it's cooked in my dish?

0:10:320:10:36

I think it's much better than before.

0:10:360:10:39

-I like it much better now, when it's cooked.

-Thank you very much, guys.

0:10:390:10:43

Well done, Jenea. And they like the taste of green pepper,

0:10:430:10:46

now it's been cooked in your saltfish and cabbage dish.

0:10:460:10:50

Thank you for coming to My World Kitchen.
