CALLALOO (TRINIDAD)
Substitute chard or kale and spinach if you don't have access to a West Indian market and can't access the calalloo leaves (taro leaves). This is a trademark of Trinidad where crab and callaloo is the national dish. Served with rice, or macaroni pie, coo-coo or a selection of local root vegetables. 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.
- Keep an eye on that hot pepper use one that is not bruised. You DO NOT want that pepper to burst while cooking. The heat from the burst pepper will overpower the other flavours.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 35 minutes.
- 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.
- Serve hot as a soup on it's own or as a side dish.

- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 1 minute. Add scallions, cilantro, and thyme and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Stir in collard greens and spinach just to wilt slightly, then add okra, chopped chile, squash, coconut milk, and 1 tsp. pepper; season with salt. Stir well, then place whole chile on top. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot, and simmer until squash is tender and greens are wilted and softened, 40–45 minutes.
- Remove and discard whole chile (it should be shriveled but still intact). Using an immersion blender, purée Callaloo until smooth. (If you don’t have an immersion blender, blend in batches in a regular blender). The Callaloo should be thick and viscous. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve with rice or baked macaroni pie.
