I made a pot for my family reunion and for a christmas party this past season...I just made a few additions based on what I like to taste in callaloo. EVERYONE LOVED IT!!! Now everyone is asking for the recipe and evryone talks about how good my callaloo tastes. Thank You!!!! Thank You!!! Thank You!!! I love your videos!! You are so awesome!!!!!
I'm away at school and miss home. Your food is great, but sometimes I just like to hear you talk. You remind me of my family back home. Thanks for that
Hey, Chris. Loving the channel. This looks awesome! Thanks for making an easier approximation of this dish because, living in Australia, dasheen leaves would be near impossible to find. Can't wait to give this a shot!
I use the frozen spinach and okro. Smoked turkey or smoked pork neck bones is a good substitution if no pigtail ( hubby allergic to crab). Tastes great.
omg i love your videos am from trinidad soon in the future would be a wife so well is her am coming to learn how to cook dishes for the huzzy ..gd job and thanks
I normally use the frozen spinach, it is a bit chunky until I swizzle it, all in all I do get a good consistency and the flavor is there. I am going to try this one cause you are never to old to learn. Thanks for sharing
HI Chris I do this also I live in Washington State and I cant find what I would use in Trinidad. Love your vids. Thank you for your recipes because Caribbean food is more than just jerk chicken. Linden
Honestly when i first made this i really did not think it would taste like Callaloo. Once i smell it boiling down i know it was going to taste pretty close to the real deal. i just dump 5$ in snow crab in mines for flavor.
hey Chris i am a new fan. glad to see the stereotype that most Caribbean men can cook. As a Haitian i would like to know if you can make my traditional pumpkin soup.its a really big deal in Haiti
Well I for one love the substitutions and it looks DELISH!! Thanks for helping out us Trinis who can't get real callaloo bush etc... this will do Chris! This will do! Will be making with some rice, brown stew, and fried plantains shortly. :)
God bless you for this recipe. I do gave two request. Can you show how to make fungi. I think that is what they call it. It us made with corn meal. And can you pleassssseeeee make some dhal purée . I hope I spelt it right. I have been craving dhal for a while but I don't know how to make it.
this looks great chris! i guess to make this vegan i will have to substitute a little bit of crumbled firm tofu soaked in seaweed dashi stock or some miso (or both) and maybe some wakami seaweed for a taste of the sea... oh well, i'll have to get the ingredients together to try it. but i understand what you mean about making the substitutions when you can't get the real thing.
Alas, I've never seen okra in any grocery store and also have never seen canned crab meat. I am sure if it is available somewhere in Germany it is some luxery food I could never afford.
Hey fellow German, check out the grocery section of Asian markets, and Pakistani food stores! Where I live they all carry Okra. It's not wildly expensive. And I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm pretty sure I've also seen canned crab meat in the Asian markets.
Ruben von Zwack Thanks, but the Chinese Supermarket (really, it says so on the banner) near me doesn't have any fresh stuff, no vegetables, no fruit, no herbs. They aren't big on canned goods either, but the have an endless isle of ramen noodles and countless varieties of sauces from soy sauce to fish sauce and anything inbetween.
Hi, I don't eat shellfish either but in the northern part of Ayiti, beef is substituted for the shellfish. I have tried making it using smoked herring and it's still good with white rice. Traditionally it's made with blue crabs but the fun part with the Caribbean recipes is that you can adapt them to your own taste. hope that helps.
Seygra, I tried collards, but the flavor and texture aren't the same as the version he's making. For Callalloo, you need a softer green than collards or kale.
Whenever you doh have mammy you nurse from granny,you use what you have available.Sweet for days,I use baby spinach also be sauce I don't always get dasheen bush
Thank you from all of us living outside Trinidad
Appreciate your love of our food
🥰🥰🥰Vancouver making this tomorrow
Your channel is the Best

Can you use frozen spinach and okra
this looks great chris! i guess to make this vegan i will have to substitute a little bit of crumbled firm tofu soaked in seaweed dashi stock or some miso (or both) and maybe some wakami seaweed for a taste of the sea... oh well, i'll have to get the ingredients together to try it. but i understand what you mean about making the substitutions when you can't get the real thing.

i made this with snow crab, and i lick my plate.....
Chris, will this dish work with tuna ? I don't eat shellfish ! : (

Traditionally it's made with blue crabs but the fun part with the Caribbean recipes is that you can adapt them to your own taste. hope that helps.
Have you ever tried to make it with collard greens, mustard green or kale?
Seygra, I tried collards, but the flavor and texture aren't the same as the version he's making. For Callalloo, you need a softer green than collards or kale.
Whenever you doh have mammy you nurse from granny,you use what you have available.Sweet for days,I use baby spinach also be sauce I don't always get dasheen bush
