Callaloo-Trini Style image

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
