CHEF'S NOTES

Callaloo is a Caribbean dish, the main ingredient of which is a leaf vegetable. It is widely known throughout the Caribbean and has a distinctively Caribbean origin, created by African slaves using ideas of the indigenous people along with both African (okra) and indigenous (Xanthosoma) plants.

Callaloo comes in as many styles as there are islands and cooks, and now refers to a complex mixture with a "confusion" of ingredients because the leaf vegetable used in some regions may be locally called "callaloo" or "callaloo bush". Strictly viewed, if that's possible, callaloo exhibits one constant - a spinach-like, tender green leaf, traditionally either amaranth (known by many local names including callaloo or bhaji), or taro or Xanthosoma species (both known by many local names including callaloo, coco, tannia, or dasheen bush).

Often thickened with okra and well-seasoned with chile peppers, this irresistible West Indian soup may include coconut milk, crab, Caribbean lobster, meats, and other seasonings. The ingredients are added and simmered down to a soup or stew consistency. When done, callaloo is dark green in color and is served as a soup or a side dish which may be used as a gravy for other food.

Outside of the Caribbean, spinach is occasionally used.
