callaloo soup

Grenadian callaloo soup combines cooked leafy greens with coconut and ground provisions. Spice Island Cooking’s preparation includes smoked pigtail or another meat, dasheen, green banana, sweet potato and dumplings. Onion, garlic, thyme, fresh green seasonings, parsley, cayenne and Scotch bonnet pepper flavour the pot.^[1]

The aromatics are sautéed before the chopped callaloo is cooked with water and broken down with a swivel stick. Coconut powder, meat and more water are added, followed by the ground provisions. Dumplings and remaining seasonings go in as the soup finishes cooking. Avocado slices accompany the serving.^[1]
