Trinidad Callaloo is a medley of leafy greens with fresh herbs and vegetables cooked in coconut milk and blended to create a stew- or soup like dish. Traditionally made with the leaves of the root vegetable dasheen (taro), modern amalgamations have utilized spinach to give another unique flavor. Other variations include adding crab meat, salted pork or coconut cream instead of coconut milk for more depth of flavor.
