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.

- 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.

CALLALOO
This mineral-rich leafy green is a staple in the Jamaican diet; saute it with onions, scallions, and thyme to make a healthy vegetable side dish. If you can't find callaloo, Swiss chard or mustard greens make an excellent substitute.From the book "Lucinda's Authentic Jamaican Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

CALLALOO (LEAFY GREENS WITH TOMATO AND ONION)
Callaloo is a simple stewed dish of greens, tomatoes, onions and Lawry's Seasoned Salt. The dish is eaten across the Caribbean, but this version comes from Hazel Craig, the mother of the pastry chef Jessica Craig of L'Artusi in Manhattan. Hazel makes the dish every Christmas exactly as she ate it in Jamaica: with saltfish, which adds heft and a pleasant funk. If you're not able to get callaloo (which can be found in fresh or canned form at Caribbean markets and some international grocery stores), any sturdy green will do, like kale or Swiss chard.

Steps:

- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the callaloo and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes, adding the prepared saltfish halfway through, if using. Stir in the seasoned salt and pepper and serve.

Trini's have this iron rich soup at least once a week, usually on a Sunday. Can be made in advance and freezes well.

Steps:
- Put salted pork pieces in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Drain off this water. Repeat this process to draw off the excess salt from the salted meat.
- Heat the oil in a large pot and add the onion, garlic, celery and fresh herbs. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add okras, pumpkin and dasheen leaves and sauté for another minute or so. Add the coconut milk and stock or water, crab and hot pepper.

- Taste and add salt if needed.
- Remove hot pepper and crab or meat, and swizzle the callaloo, or put in a blender or you can use an immersion type blender, and beat until smooth. Return the crab or meat pieces to the soup. Add the cooking margarine or butter. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Stir well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Place one of the chicken breasts on top and lay another piece of plastic wrap on top. Using the smooth side of a mallet, pound the chicken breast until 1/4-inch thick all around. Repeat with the second chicken breast.
- Remove the top layer of plastic and sprinkle the top of each chicken with an even layer of 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon adobo, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. Set aside, covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and stir until aromatic and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the callaloo, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Stir in the tomatoes, 2 sprigs of the thyme, 1/2 cup water and half of the chiles. If the callaloo seems a bit dry, add a little more oil and water. Let cook until the callaloo is soft, another 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add more chiles for added heat if desired. Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined-baking sheet, smooth to flatten and cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- On a clean surface, lay a flattened chicken breast seasoned side down. Spoon half of the cooled callaloo in an even layer. Starting at one long side, fold over the chicken and continue rolling until it's in the shape of a small log. Enclose and tighten the roulade with 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining chicken breast and callaloo mixture.
- Bring a medium stockpot of water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Place the wrapped roulades into the water. Using tongs, rotate for about 5 minutes to set the chicken. Remove, take off the plastic and let rest for 3 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roulades and sear all sides until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the butter and remaining 3 sprigs thyme. Using a spoon, baste the chicken with the melted butter for another 2 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven until the internal temperature of the chicken is 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.

Steps:
- To make the crust:
- Cut the chilled butter into very small pieces. Mix the flour, cornmeal, and sea salt in a food processor; add the butter, and pulse until the mixture is a sandy texture that resembles breadcrumbs. Transfer to a bowl, and add half the Parmesan cheese, mixing with a fork or knife until combined. (Reserve remaining cheese for topping the pie.) Measure out 4 tablespoons of ice-cold water, and add to the flour mixture a little at a time until the dough sticks together, mixing just long enough to create a mass. Do not overmix. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag; hold it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. Remove one hour before use to bring to room temperature.
- To make the callaloo filling:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add half the garlic, onion, bell pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, and scallion; cook for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the callaloo and cook down for about 8 minutes, until it turns bright green. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the plantain filling:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another sauté pan over medium heat, and add the remaining garlic, onion, bell pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, and scallion; sauté for about 1 minute. Add the plantain and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes. Add the corn and cilantro, and sauté for another minute. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To make the sauce:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon chopped scallion. Add the white wine, and cook, stirring, until the wine is evaporated. Stir in the heavy cream and whole milk. Bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is reduced. Stir in the thyme and Parmesan cheese.
- To assemble the pot pie:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the pastry into a large circle, and use it to line the base and sides of an 8-inch pie dish or casserole. Layer half the plantain mixture in the bottom, then distribute half the mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan on top of that. Cover with half the callaloo mixture, then half the goat cheese and more Parmesan. Repeat the layers in the same order with the remaining plantain filling, mozzarella, Parmesan, callaloo filling, goat cheese, and more Parmesan. Pour the sauce over the assembled pie.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the rest of the pastry into an 8-inch round; lay it on top of the pie, trimming away any excess pastry and crimping the edges to seal well. Score an X in the middle of the top crust with a sharp knife. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg, scatter with the rest of the Parmesan, and chill for at least 20 minutes. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the pastry is golden-brown on top. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.

CHEF MARCUS SAMUELSSON'S TAKE ON CALLALOO
Callaloo is the national dish of my country. This is a chef's version of this dish as featured in Oprah's magazine. It is nothing like the traditional Trinidadian soup which utilizes the leaves of the dasheen(taro) plant. This is actually a Spinach soup as most of the ingredients are different. This doeasn't appeal to my tastes and I don't have any intention of making it but others may enjoy it.
