Hey Chris...I love your channel. I remember eating some calliloo when I was in downtown San Fernando.....it was Sooooooo good and I even tried to make it back home in FL the U.S but I don't think it will be the same without the dasheen bush....my grandma is Trinidadian...I will have her make it for me.

[@bibikhan5325]

I'm from Trinidad and I've never tried this Spinach soup I normally use Callaloo bush but this looks delicious

[@caribbeanpot]

as mentioned in the video, I can;t source good dasheen bush here. Do try it with baby spinach,.

[@millingchablal4956]

My mother-in-law made callaloo with baby spinach and it taste really good..We can't get dasheen bush either but u definitely need the other ingredients to make it taste 👍

[@nishnish12]

I use frozen spinach because I just don't have the time to cook from scratch unfortunately. I love this recipe.

[@altheajoseph2991]

I am a spinach and okro lover and this look tasty..will definitely try it....ur so good in the kitchen...

[@georgielynn4187]

[@normanwandsworth]

Chris I really like how you don't waste anything when you make your delicious food. 👍

[@daniif92]

This came out looking similar to Antiguan Pepper pot minus the shrimp and seafood stock. Traditionally we put as you said the salt beef pig and sometimes chicken drumettes. Looking good chef, will give this a try!

[@virginiast.hilaire9974]

Absolutely awesome 👌 I will definitely try it

This looks so ineresting. Sure will try.

[@TheFineKey]

Growing up baghee and dasheen was 2 different things.. we called the dasheen bush, callaloo or callaloo bush and baghee was a different plant that grows similar to spinach but had to be cooked to be eaten.. from what i remember. U would make baghee and rice or curry baghee for roti/curry dishes... But nice recipe.

[@RealTangoAgentina]

Scoop looks delish , going to make this as something different over the Xmas when everyone is fed up with leftover Xmas dinner. Cheers Chris

[@sonyafmoore]

I love your recipes. My friend are Jamaican, and would bring me food. But, since I moved from south florida, now I have to learn to make the dishes myself. Thanks

Chris!!! Well yes breads, ah just finish making this version of callaloo and like you, I used the spinach leaves too, and I have to say, this is one of d best callaloo I ever made man. The only thing I did different was add some coconut milk to the shrimp head and the skin when I was making the broth. Thank you very much for sharing this style of our national dish man. Well done bredda!!!!

Greetings ( uncle Chris). My mouth is watering, just watching you preparing this spinach and shrimp soup. I’ve eaten this delicious dish from my Trini friends…always want to know how to make it. Thanks to you my friend, I now know how it’s done. I’m making this very soon, cannot wait to taste it. Another of your delicious vegetarian dish, that I know I’ll enjoy. Blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@michaeladaniel7114]

Thank you SO much! Ever since I saw that one episode of the Cosby show, I have always wanted to try Callaloo but it turns out, it also refers to a dish of greens. I got the wrong durn island!

[@ItsAllWavyBaby]

I Love callaloo. Your recipe looks amazing. I'll give it a try with spinach for dinner this week. 💓

[@caribbeanpot]

you'll luv it..

[@aquilanakhid1635]

Looks amazing I wish I could get a taste 😂😂👍👍

[@Clairevoyante]

This is the perfect soup! I'm going to try it tonight with the bunch of leafy greens I had in the fridge. It's rainbow chards but since the taste is close to spinach, I'll try it. That looks so gooooood!

[@caribbeanpot]

let me know how it works with the Chard.. I grow a ton of it in my garden (luv it)

[@Clairevoyante]

Yes of course I will! :D

[@Clairevoyante]

caribbeanpot I tried the soup tonight and although a few ingredients were not the same (like the chards) it came out absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be making it again. The chards compliment the flavors really well. I had no ocra but otherwise I had almost everything else. Mmmhhh thank you again! :D

[@dianabuchanan8632]

Great

[@creedence111]

Chris one thing I learned about cooking okra is that you could avoid the sliminess by adding salt at the very end , once the okra has mostly cooked. You will still get all the flavor but your veg mix won't be slimy early on in the cooking process.

[@janiecesmith2668]

I'm going try this over grits...
