Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the callaloo thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. If using spinach as a substitute, ensure it is clean and dry.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until onions are translucent and fragrant.

  3. Add chopped red bell pepper to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  4. Add diced scotch bonnet pepper to the pan if using, and cook briefly. Handle hot peppers carefully and wash hands thoroughly afterward.

  5. Add washed callaloo (or spinach) to the pan and stir well to combine with other ingredients.

  6. Pour in coconut milk, stir gently to coat the callaloo and vegetables. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until callaloo has wilted and flavors meld.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  8. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
