The Best Caribbean Fish RUNDOWN Cooked in Coconut Milk | Virtual Cooking Class

Join us in Fortem’s newly created Street Food cooking classes, with the aim to build and develop new experiences and skills in cooking different cultural dishes from around the world.

Mackerel rundown is a classic Jamaican dish featuring salted or pickled mackerel and a thick sauce made with coconut milk that has been boiled with various seasonings until it turns into a custard. The sauce is often seasoned with garlic, black pepper, scotch bonnet peppers, scallions, and thyme.

This dish is often consumed for breakfast or brunch, when it is accompanied by green bananas, festival, bammy, or roasted breadfruit. Its other name, dip and fall back is said to have been derived from the fact that the dish was often served in a bowl which was placed in the middle of the table, so each consumer would dip the side dishes in it, then fall back in order to allow other consumers to dip.

Street Food is delicious, comforting, and new to our dinner cooking class series. This virtual class series has been designed to give participants and their families the opportunity to come together in a one-off class or to join them all. You will get to learn how to cook a delicious street food to eat for the evening dinner alongside other first responders and their families.

Participants to provide own ingredients, the recipe will be shared once registered.
