Ingredients
11/2 cups finely chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 teaspoons canola or other vegetable oil
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
5 cups water or vegetable stock
2 cups diced sweet potatoes (about 1 large potato)
2 cups chopped callaloo or kale or 3 cups chopped spinach, rinsed and stems removed
1 cup fresh or frozen sliced okra
1 cup diced tomatoes (about 1 large tomato)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup reducedfat coconut milk (optional
Directions
- In a covered soup pot, saute the onions and garlic in the oil on low heat for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the ginger, turmeric, coriander, thyme, and allspice and saute for another minute, stirring to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the water or stock, add the sweet potatoes, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the callaloo or kale. (If you are using spinach, do not add it yet.) Add the okra and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, lime juice, salt and spinach, if you are using it, and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes, until all of the vegetables are tender. Add more salt or lime juice to taste and stir in the coconut milk, if you like.
