Callaloo is a popular dish in the Caribbean. Usually made from taro or amaranth leaves, the leafy greens are highly nutritious as well as delicious. Because it's hard to find fresh callaloo, I use canned. You can also substitute spinach if you prefer.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato, pepper, green onions and thyme.
  2. Add the callaloo and 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup vegetable broth and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Remove the thyme sprigs and Scotch bonnet pepper before serving.
