Callaloo
Leafy Caribbean dish
Callaloo is a Caribbean dish made from leafy greens—typically taro leaves or amaranth—cooked with okra, coconut milk, and often crab or salt pork.
The dish varies by island: Trinidadian versions feature okra and coconut milk, while Jamaican callaloo resembles cooked spinach.
The word also refers to the leafy greens themselves: Pick up some callaloo at the market.
