Callaloo (Real Trini Style)...Caribbean

Callaloo (Real Trini Style)...Caribbean


1. Separate leaves from stems. Thoroughly wash leaves and strip the stems. Tear leaves apart with hands into smaller pieces. Chop stems into about 2 inches length.

2. Add all the ingredients into a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 20 mins or until the okra seeds turn pink.

3. Taste and season with salt & pepper if necessary.

4. When the callaloo is done the leaves and okras should be tender and there should be enough liquid to blend the ingredients. If not add a little warm water to bring to a soup consistency.

5. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the pork tails before blending.

6. Using a hand blender, blend the callaloo until all the ingredients are pureed.

7. Store in a clean pot with pork tails and reheat before serving.

8. Serve with rice, stewed Caribbean chicken, potato salad, boiled provisions, cole slaw, pigeon peas and macaroni pie.
