Trinidad Callaloo with Crab | Taste of Trini

[@vik_body_beld7294]

i just love the Caribbean accent

[@claudia1love]

I was fortunate to grow up in south Trinidad, but living in the NYC for over 20yrs. I enjoy hearing your voice. Next time I come home sure enough fig tacari. And yes on Sunday its crab.

[@mikeg127]

I just finished making this Reshmi. It is absolutely delicious. I followed everything you did. I’m thankful for your videos of trini dishes. You are easy to understand and follow. I don’t live in Trinidad and my access to ingredients are limited but thanks to your substitution advice, I can achieve the trini taste of food I remember. Keep doing what you do cause you help lots of folks out there like myself.

[@yamileramdeen1333]

Your recipes are always the closest my in laws used to teach me when I came from Venezuela to live with them 36 years ago... ! To me it is the authentic trini food and it just bring such good memories... TY🤗

[@caribbeandelightsca]

Excellent Trinidad dish, love it

[@hermandemello2200]

[@anniecumberbatch6808]

[@risheebabwah5824]

Thank you pretty trini gaul for your lovely calaloo recipes ❤❤❤❤

[@BMWalker8882]

I have yet to have good callaloo in the States yet. I shall try to make it on my own. This looks delicious!!!

[@jackiejames1338]

Cooking with Ria , Caribbean pot, foodie nation, uncle Clyde ❤❤❤

[@vman459]

the pumpkin really gives it a wonderful colour

[@caribbeandarkie30]

I usually add my coconut milk at the last 15mins of cooking... It enhances the flavour

[@laurenhendrickson8053]

You are so right. Same here

[@akil2746]

Oh really I never heard that, so initially you add water? How does it boil down at first?

[@caribbeandarkie30]

@@akil2746 Yes, I use water first and it boils down normal/nicely. Some Caribbean countries do not use coconut milk in their callaloo.

[@johnomoore718]

I love this recipe, for a young lady you exhibit great cooking skills, I was known to be the Callaloo King back in the day before I migrated to Northeast USA, keep up the good work, love all your recipes, keep on cooking...TRINI Q.......

[@latisha409]

[@TorresVlogs]

You know I how long I Ain't eat crab.... where u living grl u does rel be cooking...... All ah wii is one familllyyyyyyy lol.. love the vid

[@ChefRafi]

Yummy!! This reminds me of a crab dish I make with moringa leaves.

[@thesmoothcoolrocker86]

Nice, just the way I remember my step mom making it in Trinidad....I see my recipe is not far off.. thanks for sharing 👍💙

[@workaholic5066]

Real Nice.. Making this with my Macaroni pie and maybe some sorrel... for Easter

[@ingriddouglas408]

Looks delicious, I make callaloo regularly, however, I have never used carrots, I am a pumpkin girl, however I will try it next time I make it.

[@vivavinto]

I've seen a few of your videos and I've really enjoyed them. It's given me the confidence I needed to attempt some dishes I've grown up with. Thank you 🙂

[@TasteofTrini]

Happy you enjoy the videos! You're welcome! Enjoy cooking :)

[@summerslake1814]

I love callaloo and make it as well. I have never seen carrots added to it before. Also whenever I am using crab I always clip off the toes as well as the tip of the gundy. I usually put all my ingredients into the pot with a little hot water on a slow heat, leaving a whole pimento pepper to the top. When the ochroe seeds turn pink then I add the coconut milk followed by the golden ray butter and a hot green pepper (whole) on top which lights up the kitchen. Hot pepper and coconut milk always make a sweet clash. I leave that until coconut milk is dried down and now i swizzle. My callaloo normally comes out thick. Well I guess there can be more than one way of doing something and still achieve its goal. Thanks for the video anyway. I did enjoy the geera chicken recipe.

[@TasteofTrini]

Summers Lake sounds good. I usually clip the toes and gundy as well but these were just for flavor, I didn't eat them. I do that when I'm making curry crab. It's nice to hear different ways of making a dish, thanks for sharing ☺

[@andrec7440]

Looks delicious

[@akashjincoo147]

I like your cooking skills

[@IndrasKitchen]

Taste of Trini , Excellent recipe

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you! I love your videos! Excellent content on your channel! :)

[@stella2491]

Thanks for that video that only thing I can’t find here is the golden ray butter. I am going to used spinach also. I hope it comes out perfect. That’s going to be one of my Christmas side dishes.

[@curtisthomas2670]

Golden Ray is not actually butter, it's a salted margarine, so you can look in the margarine section for brands like Land o Lakes, HEB or Becel etc

[@lenorasookhoo347]

Looks so yum one of my fav Trini dish never used carrots but will definitely when next 🇱🇷🇹🇹

[@deboraalexis4016]

Woke up today with this on my mind ❤..

[@joannematthew835]

[@TonjaJohnsonliveyourlife]

In the USVI we eat this as a soup. I love mine with a lot of Okro. We put some fungi in the bowl then add the kallaloo to cover. Its real good man. I will try your recipe when I get back home. One Love

[@rakeshpersaud9106]

[@InspirateConLynn]

each islands has its unique way of making callalloo. in the virgin islands is more watery like a soup but it dont matter to me how its done or whoever makes it. its amazing. i love it!

How does dasheen leaf taste?

[@curtisthomas2670]

Like spinach

[@eleanoreburns3966]

Love this recipe! I live in Texas and I can’t get Dasheen Bush so I used baby spinach and it tasted great!

[@curtisthomas2670]

Look for Taro leaves in a Caribbean, Asian or Hawaiian market or supermarket. You can get plants online or at a plant shop and grow them yourself, they'll do well in the South

[@CaramelCashmere]

Can you substitute the pumpkin for butternut squash

[@andiea7358]

nurse.cynthia yes you can. I do it all the time

[@HD-et9qv]

yes you can

[@salenanolan343]

Mmmm looks so good it reminds me of my moms yumm .

Is dried bhaji leaf ok for this? I live in California so I have to make due with what’s available 😅

I have now mastered my callaloo thanks to your recipe 😋☺️ Thank you for sharing.

[@sashaspringer9982]

Hi! Can I use butternut squash instead of pumpkin? Also, what if you can’t get golden ray butter?

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes you can! Use regular butter instead with a bit of annatto/achiote powder

[@junissaelie3760]

What can I substitute the Golden day with? I live I Atlanta Georgia and it’s hard to find it here

[@curtisthomas2670]

Look in the margarine section for "salted margarine" like HEB, Land o Lakes or Becel etc, they're usually orange colored like Kraft cheese singles

[@gabbnwithgabb]

Ughhhhh my fave !!

[@melaniejoannejohn8]

Nicole Ramcharitar; first time I have seen that method too my try it some time

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes try it! This is how I make corn soup as well. It dissolves the butter in the callaloo instead of creating that film of butter on top. :)

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

yummy now I want it again

[@christineandrea9328]

Hey hun I am going to try this in a few minutes. I don't see the recipe for the green seasoning. Can I use bottles green seasoning also? I'm so excited!

Hey girl !!! Whey the trini wine recipe you promise we since last year Christmas ?? Tell me when nah u put it up

[@rhondaisraelsson3786]

Golden Ray Butter makes it taste so good. Unfortunately its not available in Scandinavia. Is there anything I can substitute it with? Really enjoy your KZbin Clips listening to Trini indian slang like chonkay... nice keep it up!!

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey, unfortunately, the only things I can recommends are salted butter or golden cream margarine. Happy you enjoy the videos :)

[@millzad]

Enjoyed it

[@veshmahlalwah334]

this is lovely i love this with anything stew as well. i have a really strange trick if you dont get the young leaves and dont have a lot of time to cook. seperate leaves from stems and wash put the in your food processor and chop finely. some baking powder can also be added to older leaves when cooking. same method as in the video. it will be ready in 15 mins.no blending needed.

[@TasteofTrini]

Nice! I will have to try that! Thanks for all your tips!

[@jbvincent4116]

girl you make feel for some right now.

[@ashleysafrazhussain4370]

how u do ur fry rice so ? can u make it bk n video it

lovely

[@anaiscarpaille2677]

We call it Calalou in Guadeloupe. Calalou and crab is a traditional dish for the Easter celebrations. Your recipe is quite similar to ours but we don't use coconut milk.

[@Honeypepper.]

where you get blue crab from girl? You does make me feel tuh come thru da screen and start eating!

[@mslovinglife6165]

Can you substitute Elephant Ears for Dashine Bush to make Callaloo?????

[@curtisthomas2670]

NOOOOOOO!!! Most are toxic. Use taro leaves or regular spinach

[@michelleabbott2561]

Where are you located, Trinidad??? I grew up in Morvant but now live in North Carolina.
