LEARN HOW TO MAKE TRINIDAD'S NATIONAL DISH CALLALOO--NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH JAMAICAN CALLALOO. LINK TO PRINTABLE RECIPE: https://cookingwithria.com/2011/10/trinidad-callaloo.html Ingredients 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 2 (10 oz) packages of frozen chopped spinach OR 1 1/2 - 2 lbs young dasheen bush leaves and stems ( 1 bundle) 1/2 - 1 lb pumpkin (squash or calabaza), cubed (frozen or fresh) 1/2 - 1 lb ochro, sliced in 1/2 inch pieces, (frozen or fresh) 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced 1 medium onion, chopped 4-5 scallions, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups) 1 small bunch thyme (about 8 sprigs, whole or chopped finely) 8 large garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons green seasoning 1 stalk celery, finely chopped, optional 2 cups fresh coconut milk + 2 cups water, or more if you want more liquid salt and pepper ( I used 3 tsps Himalayan Salt salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper) 1 habanero pepper and 2 pimento peppers Optional- Meat or Seafood: Crab, chicken or pre cooked pig tail (2 lbs) 1. In a stockpot over low heat, add spinach, pumpkin, carrots, ochroes, scallions, celery, onion, thyme, garlic, green seasoning, oil and the habanero pepper. Add protein if using. 2. Pour in coconut milk to pan, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 3. Cover and simmer for 1 hour until all ingredients are cooked and soft, stirring every 10 minutes to combine the flavors and prevent sticking to the bottom. 4. When finished, remove habanero pepper (being careful not to burst it) and (meat if using) and swizzle using a swizzle stick (also called dhal ghutney in Trinidad) to break up chunks. You may also use a food processor or blender or hand immersion blender for a smoother texture. Return meat into the pot and serve hot over rice.
