CALLALOO (REAL TRINI STYLE)...CARIBBEAN
This is the real callaloo the way it's made in Trinidad. This callaloo is not considered a soup but rather a side dish used with the Sunday lunch. If you can get the real ingredients wherever you are you are going to really ENJOY this dish. Serve on rice, boiled provisions, macaroni pie, potato salad....Caribbean foods are best for this dish. All ingredients can be prepped before and stored in the refrigerator at least two days before.

Steps:
- Separate leaves from stems. Thoroughly wash leaves and strip the stems. Tear leaves apart with hands into smaller pieces. Chop stems into about 2 inches length.
- Add all the ingredients into a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 20 mins or until the okra seeds turn pink.
- Taste and season with salt & pepper if necessary.
- When the callaloo is done the leaves and okras should be tender and there should be enough liquid to blend the ingredients. If not add a little warm water to bring to a soup consistency.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the pork tails before blending.
- Using a hand blender, blend the callaloo until all the ingredients are pureed.
- Store in a clean pot with pork tails and reheat before serving.
- Serve with rice, stewed Caribbean chicken, potato salad, boiled provisions, cole slaw, pigeon peas and macaroni pie.
CALLALOO-TRINI STYLE
Well I was browsing the website and I noticed no recipe for this dish so I just had to put up one. Trying to work out this recipe I have seen my family make without much effort so I hope I get all the ingredients right. In Trinidad we mostly make eat this as a side dish but some people would categorize this as a soup so you could add meat (crab or small chunks of beef). In Trinidad we like things spicy so pepper is a must for me :) but it's optional
