Calaloo Recipe

· admin · Recipes

When I was in the UK last autumn, I bought a can of Calaloo.  It's a Jamaican vegetable that looks a bit like spinach.  This is the recipe on the can itself:

Ingredients:

  • 1 Can Jamaican Pride Callaloo (yes, written with two L's it seems, however, the label said "Calaloo in Brine",with only one l)
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
  • 1 Medium chopped onion
  • 1 Whole tomato
  • Black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Method

  1. Saute onion in  margarine
  2. Add one can callaloo, and stir
  3. Cover saucepan and heat for 3 minutes
  4. Add whole scotch bonnet pepper
  5. Sprinkle with pepper and salt
  6. Simmer than serve [sic]

As I didn't have the scotch bonnet pepper, I used some Tabasco to spice it up :-)
