'''Run down''' is a traditional [[Jamaican cuisine|Jamaican]] dish, often made with [[coconut milk]], [[fish]], [[tomato]], [[onion]], [[garlic]], [[pepper]], and various [[spices]]. The name "run down" refers to the cooking process, where the ingredients are simmered or "run down" until they create a thick, flavorful sauce.

==Ingredients and Preparation==
The primary ingredient in run down is typically [[mackerel]], although other types of fish or even [[shellfish]] can be used. The fish is traditionally salted for preservation and to enhance flavor, but fresh fish can also be used. The fish is then cooked in a sauce made from coconut milk, which is often freshly made from grated [[coconut]].

The other ingredients, including tomato, onion, garlic, and pepper, are sautéed in [[cooking oil]] before the coconut milk and fish are added. Spices such as [[thyme]], [[scotch bonnet pepper]], and [[allspice]] are also added to give the dish its distinctive flavor. The mixture is then simmered until it reduces to a thick sauce, hence the name "run down".

==Cultural Significance==
Run down is a staple in Jamaican cuisine and is often served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a popular dish during [[Lent]], when many Jamaicans abstain from eating meat. The dish is often served with [[breadfruit]], [[rice]], or [[dumplings]].

==Variations==
While the basic ingredients of run down remain the same, there are many regional variations of the dish. Some versions may include additional ingredients such as [[okra]], [[potato]], or [[carrot]]. In some areas, run down is made with [[cod]] or other types of white fish instead of mackerel.
