Not the best with exact quantities as i wud just average when cooking, neither with the English right now.

Let's say its a bundle of bhagi u have

1/2 carrot, grated
1 sweet potato grated
A small piece of pumpkin grated

Of course you need to clean the bhagi, cut up the leaves and the stem.

In a pot with oil, sauté some blended garlic, onions, pimentos, hot peppers, maybe a piece of ginger too

Add the grated carrots, pumpkin and sweet potatoes and let that sauté for about 5mins

Then add the bhagi leaves, salt

After sometime u would need to add coconut milk, not the pack coconut milk eh, fresh coconut milk.

Add some ochroes and just let that simmer

You can even add a maggi cube and some golden ray for flavoring

Use a swizzle stick and swizzle the bhagi so it can mash up, dont use a hand blender, it gets too mushy.

sweet potato and carrot? that's a first

you need dasheen bush, if you're buying it in the market look for the young "rolled" bush as opposed to the older (and cheaper) broad leaf, clan and cut it up incl of peeling the stalk, wash and put in a pot like a tall stock pot, if you're using one bundle of bush you'll need about 8-10 ochroes, cut those up and add to the put together with some diced pumpkin, cut up some onion, chive celery, garlic and pimento add everything, the choice of meats is yours, you can have none or go with crab, smoked bones, pigtail etc, add your coconut milk ( fresh or pack it's at your convenience), at salt to your taste and your Golden Ray/Maggi cubes is optional and let everything simmer until the leaves are tender and the pumpkin is soft.

At that point you determine what consistency you like whether it be by swizzle stick, immersion blender or a reg blender, Callaloo is a personal dish, each person's own would be to their preference (hence the carrot and sweet potato above) and it's a one pot all ingredients in dish, what I gave you is the basic foundation upon which you can shape to suit you, it's also and eyeball kinda dish. Try your hand and tweak to suit

Everyone has they own method cooking Callalo first of all no to that golden ray butter that will kill you.

My girl don't even go tru the cutting up @ Hilo or other supermarkets they have a Callalo pack less than $20 , it comes cut up ,pumpkin ,ochroes , hot pepper and magi seasoning included .

Wash out ,have yuh garlic ,ginger and salt meat ( pig tail or beef)

Coconut milk not from the pack real grated from the dry coconut the milk squeeze out .

Start heating up the pot we use a non stick .

Sauté ginger ,garlic in some olive oil we use the Badia brand minced garlic in olive oil from pricemart.

Add the Callalo with all the diced pumpkin ,ochroes ,Maggie seasoning place whole hot pepper on top make sure the hot pepper has the stem and salt meat.

Then add the coconut milk and let it boil down on a medium fire .

We use the swizzle stick but take out the hot pepper and salt meat or it will be spicy or you can use the blender just for 4 seconds not longer you don't want too liquify. Put back in the salt meat not the hot pepper.


That's it .

Bess recipe B !!! The sweet potato adds a very nice flavor and texture to the mix ...

[snatman]

hmm sweet potato in callalloo, sounding good!!!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

my method:

ingredients:
* 1 bundle dasheen bush (properly cleaned)
* 10-12 ochroes
* 4-5 pimentoes
* 1 coconut
* seasoning both blended and raw
* hot pepper
* garlic,onions
* pieces of pumkin

method: coconut is grated and blended to get the milk...Milk is placed into pot after which the bush and other ingredients(sliced and cut) are placed into pot and left to cook
Use of swizzle stick to "bring down everything "...add salt accordingly.
