How To Make Callaloo.

Here's how we make callaloo in the Caribbean using a recipe from Trinidad and Tobago. The flavors of the callaloo is enhanced with coconut milk, and abundance of herbs and spices and how could we forget the uniqueness of this dish with the inclusion of crab. For the full recipe on making Trini callaloo, check out: caribbeanpot.co...

This is also the national dish of Dominica made with dasheen leaves, when I make I use vegetable stock instead of salt. Absolutely delicious. I also use smoked meats, salt beef. Chris please show us how to clean crabs

[@b.freeman2118]

Gonna take your suggestion

[@KimmyCaesar-s6o]

I’ll just like to say thank you for teaching me how to cook and my husband love all my cooking 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤thanks too you!

[@CajunCarib]

Thank you for posting, its been years since I've had a good bowl of Trini callaloo. The US Virgin Islands also prepares their callaloo in the way. This will be on the menu this week! Thanks again!

[@faridaramdhanie866]

I love this dish. It was one of my favorite Trinidad Sunday lunch, when I used to live in T&T 25 years ago. This guy brought back memories to me and he explains the method so well in this recipe, that I think anyone can follow. God bless him!

[@jacobs241]

just tried this recipe... my step-mom always made it when I was growing up. taste delicious, plus it has a lot of green leafy vegetable that's a win win in my book

[@poshdelux]

Made this last night , (with coconut oil and regular milk (ran out of coconut milk) )perfect dish for light eaters that want that hardy feel without the heavy carbs .Thank you Chris!

[@Tsatesh]

Hi. I watched your video and I tried making calaloo according to your recipe. I must say its one of the best meals I ever made. I just love the texture and I left the pepper like you did. It was mavellous. Im having this for our sunday lunch. I am have invited my sisters and Im sure they too would be amazed. I will keep you posted of what they had to say... Thanks again Chris..

[@lavieestbelle6068]

Chris, You rock. I am from West Africa and I can't wait to try your recipes. Thank you!

[@conradheidi]

Hey Chris hope you and the family are all well. I live in the UK and a friend bought back some callaloo leaves for me, so i made some callaloo today, and de ting is so nice nice nice. I made it with baby spinach before and that too as so delicious . Thank you so much for the video x

[@TheAmberdewer]

my bad my mother in law in Trinidad just called and said she does put crab in her caliloo. thanks again for all the great videos! I made your pileau the other day and my husband loved it. Thanks.

[@mvramai]

Love this recipe using the baby spinach leaves since good Callaloo Bush is near impossible to find here in Canada! Will definitely try this dish as I haven't had it since I migrated.

[@andraconstantin9459]

You can get it canned on Amazon.

[@CaribbeanMimi]

I made this last night and it came out great 👍🏽

[@KNByam]

Made this tonight with some macaroni pie, and beef stew. Awesome.

[@hannahjoja]

Chris, my kallaloo was BOMB! Thanks for helping me make this New Years celebration away from home that much more home-like! All the best in the new year and keep the recipes coming! Thanks again!

[@BlkBeauty561]

My husband's family is Trini, I'm African American. I knock their socks off everytime 🔥🔥🔥

[@theresacharles8171]

Chris I love your recipe for the curry crab may have to try that recipe this weekend for my family

[@SeattleGraceHosp]

I cooked this dish Friday nite for my sweetheart. He loved it. I used pigtails. Next time I will used the fresh crabs. I also mixed baby spinach with calaloo greens, fantastic dish!!! Thanks Chris.

[@jocelyneangol7422]

Back in nature island ofDominca our crabs home have green grease we saved ti put in the dish

[@barbaraglover4451]

look so yummy and delicious Crab and Callaloo

[@joanntaylor9086]

Keep up the good work Chris... I live in Trinidad where it similar in preparation but I use the baby dasheen leaves...a.k.a dasheen bush and the young stems..very delicious...

[@saraabraham5486]

My husband who is from Cayes Haiti; asked me to make Callaloo for him with fufu-Thanks for this video. I will use this video to help me make it.

[@ceretteexilia5481]

sara Abraham yup we Aux Cayes ppl love Callaloo☺😊☺ especially with tòmtòm 😜lol don't know how to say that in English it is made with breadfruit🍴

[@Ms.Vonnetta]

everybody is a critic these days.... they should get paid to judge. Good job Mr. Chris

[@kasha247]

I love seafood Callaloo! I make mines with Conch, Shrimp and Crab.Yum!

[@cynthiasimon3648]

Yessah

[@PheonixBluez]

that sounds soooo good..😋

[@zendayaforever1]

That's is exactly how I make mine and it comes out delicious!

[@empresstrini6722]

Yes gawd!

[@streaydog019]

Yep that's the best!! Seafood callaloo!

[@nakjon]

@caribbeanpot I actually went ahead and got the actual crab instead of just the meat. I made it with the stew chicken over rice and my Nigerian boyfriend could not stop raving about this dish. Thanks for great advice! It definitely would not have been the same if I'd just used the crab meat! :)

[@nataliesamlal7956]

Love Callaloo. Make Pigtail calloo today rice stew chicken and potato salad. Sunday lunch. Love it

[@caribbeanpot]

@nakjon Balancing the "overcook" and getting as much flavor may be a bit tricky. This is why we normally use crabs in the shell... plus the shell adds a wonderful flavor as well. I would add the lump crab (I assume it will still be raw) about 5-8 minutes before the dish is fully cooked.

[@faridaramdhanie866]

I tried this recipe and it came out great. Thanks to you Chris! Thumps up for this!

[@screeech1]

That looks soooooooooo darn GOOD!😃 You make it look so simple to cook. I am going to try it soon! Thanks😁

[@cassiadiamond]

[@fallenemo29]

Great vid Chris! I also have a hard time finding taro leaves "callaloo" in my area so I sometimes use collard greens, kale and or Swiss chard

[@IHeartRoti1]

Are people listening....he gave a really great explanation at the start of the video that this a Trinidadian recipe.

[@htsxyfitblkm]

Found a spot in Tampa that sells Live Blue Crabs.. Great place - Made this recipe today, it came out great (only thing I added too many pieces of Pumpkins... Next time I won't) I don't eat crabs but the sauce is EXCELLENT...

[@pattbrowne]

In Trinidad we can substitute crab or pigtail with maggie crab or pigtail flavour the pot seasoning. Also there is a bush taken when young from the Dasheen plant, This is the traditional dasheen bush that we call callalo bush, Try it you will like it.

[@virginislandstv]

LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! Sharing this vid then going shopping!! Thanks for posting!!

[@Hope1981ful]

Great video love it

[@amandakatriana98]

My haitian family makes the same thing! Its sooo good with crab

[@marie01106]

Chris you're making me home sick my mouth is watering!!!!!

[@caribbeanpot]

@Dalleyne11216 if you use actual crab meat, it will be excellent. Not the plastic looking processed stuff that you get cheap in the grocery stores. I've used it with great success. But you are correct.. the actual bones (not sure how else to call it), does add a lot of flavor.

[@exoticcandy4813]

I can't wait to make this for my boyfriend! his favorite! Thanks!

[@curtiss744]

Callaloo is awesome , I never knew Callaloo was the national dish of Trinidad .

[@semoneg2826]

Yes it it...we also add crab or salted meat if you desire..lots of people add it as a side dish on Sunday...

[@rachaelroopchand2069]

Wow look in great thank you

[@freeatlast3979]

Can the Jamaican callaloo be used instead of the spinach or dasheen leaves?

[@NightTerrorGameplays]

he can go to tamil grocery stores in scarborough, they have blue crab there too, but it's from sri lanka it is very flavorful though, my trini friend uses it too
