Easy Ackee & Callaloo Recipe !

Ackee and Callaloo recipe ingredients:
Prep time 15 minutes
Cooking time approx 18 minutes
1 tin of Ackee (rinsed before adding to the pan)
1 tin of Callaloo (rinsed before adding to the pan)
1 medium onion sliced
4 small chopped spring onions
4 cloves of chopped garlic
1 heaped teaspoon chopped ginger
1 cup of mixed bell peppers sliced
1 cup of cherry tomatoes cut in halves
Few sprigs of Thyme
½ of a whole scotch bonnet deseeded
1 tablespoon of homemade green seasoning (optional)
3 tablespoons of coconut and olive oil mixed together (use whatever oil you have)
¼ teaspoon of salt or to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of liquid Maggie (add more if you like)
1 1/4 teaspoons of all purpose seasoning
1 teaspoons of Caribbean citrus seasoning blend (salt free)
1 teaspoon of Aromat
Few pimento seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons of garlic granules
1 ¼ teaspoons of onion flakes/granules
Couple of turns of roasted garlic and black pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon of vegan butter (use whatever butter you have)
Method:
Heat up a sauce pan or skillet on the stove.
Add the oils (I used two oils because I like the flavours) then add the onions and sauté for three minutes. Now add the bell peppers, garlic and ginger, reserving the spring onions for later. Stir for a few minutes before adding the green seasoning (Can be found in the Easy Jerk Salmon video) and combine with the other ingredients to release more tropical flavours, followed by the cherry tomatoes, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper and the pimento seeds. Give a little mix to ensure everything is well coated and ready for the rinsed tinned of Callaloo.
Now add the Callaloo (stir) followed by the all purpose seasoning, garlic granules, and onion flakes/granules, Caribbean seasoning citrus blend and salt and black pepper to taste (stir) then cover and simmer for about 8 minutes on a low to medium heat.
Return after stated time and stir to make sure enough liquid is in the pan then cover for another min before adding the rinsed Ackee to the mixture. I should add if you need to add liquid either use water or vegetable stock. I didn’t need to add any liquid as the mixture produced its own gravy due to cooking on low to medium heat throughout.
Next step add the Ackee, butter, spring onions and a few extra sprigs of thyme for added punch of fresh thyme taste and gentle fold the Ackee into the mixture to prevent it from breaking up and becoming mushy(we don’t want thatJ) before adding the roasted garlic and black pepper seasoning to give even more punchiness to the dish. Gently combine and taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
Now add the Aromat, liquid Maggie, all purpose seasoning and a few turns of the black pepper mill and a gentle stir before covering and simmering for two minutes.
Finally we are ready!! Turn the heat off and move the pan to another ring to prevent further cooking.
You can now plate up and enjoy with your favourite sides. Today I am serving it with fried dumpling, fried plantain and avocado but you could have plain rice, bread or rice and peas the list is endless!
