Calalloo

So excited to find this at our local farm stand in NY. Sauteed it with garlic and oil. It was more bitter than what I ate in Negril. Should I have added something that I didn't?

Onion, sweet pepper (bell), hot pepper, scallion and grated carrot probably would have added just the sweetness it lacked....also a few pats of butter, then cover & let it steam down for a little while.

I lovvvvvve Calalloo!

It might be a bit late in the summer season for it. Try it again when things cool off a bit in the fall.

A fabulous combination with steamed calalloo is homemade cornbread....the sweetness of it off sets the slight bitterness of the calalloo!

I like it with scallion, garlic, tomato and scotch bonnet--cooked over a low heat for a while. I wish I saw it in markets around here. Sometimes just the thought of a JA breakfast gets me on the plane to the island.

yu sure it was calloo?
if it was ,then all above seasonings added to it should make it bombdelicious and Oh....when choosing, try to pick tender, slim stalks. Stalks should "snap" when bent(when possible) to ensure you are puchasing some tender calloo.

we get it here in Florida for $2.99 for a bundle and I add a likkle black pepper to the oil and garlic.......
sometimes I add green seasoning too.....wonderful tasting......almost like home.......lol

during our first few trips we ate a lot with local families,,they all added bacon grease, or fat-back cut up with it...............
Hot Bacon Dressing on Lettuce is awesome..........

We usually put in a few pcs of country ham. Yumee!
