Trinidad Callaloo with Crab | Taste of Trini

Callaloo is a typical Trinbagonian Sunday dish. This can be served like a soup, with rice, or drizzled over macaroni pie. Here's how I make Callaloo with crab. Enjoy!
You'll need:
8- 10 dasheen bush leaves
3-4 crabs, seasoned
2 cups of chopped ochroes or okra
1 1/2 cups of chopped pumpkin
1 carrot, chopped
1/4 cup of celery chopped
8-10 pimentoes
1/4 cup green seasoning
1 1/2 cups of coconut milk
1 Knorr vegetable bouillon cube
1 hot pepper
1 onion, diced
1 tbsp golden ray butter
a few sprigs of fine thyme
2 tsps of grated ginger
1/4 cup chopped scallions

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.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you!

[@justbeingtati694]

I truly appreciate your channel 💓my dad is from Trinidad and Tobago but, I never was taught the culture tho

[@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 ☺

[@aaudain1]

Well done job, clearly explain, I make it a bit deferent than you, I make it old school Trinidad style, got to try it your way

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!! I know you will be cooking up a storm! Enjoy!

[@nadinemartin8355]

Great recipe!!! Came out so so good!!

[@TasteofTrini]

So glad to hear that Nadine!

[@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.

[@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.

[@momiebennie1535]

Ĺove your cooking

[@workaholic5066]

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

[@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

[@franzz49]

WOW! Yummy

[@TasteofTrini]

[@anafarrell8965]

I have been watching and trying your recipe and can’t complain however I would like to request a recipe for sorrel and egg nog please. Thanks and keep doing ur tho g

[@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

[@peeralimassoom9553]

I am going to try that for sure, Later today

[@joellloyd2064]

yesssssss

[@princesslisasweety3479]

Yummy

[@akashjincoo147]

[@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!

[@vishnooramdin5871]

i know that calaloo and crab is a Trini special.Thanks for sharing the receipe.i dont know if i can grab dasheen leaves here in Toronto.,but i think so .lots of trini and african grocery store in Toronto.If not would try thick leak bagi(poi)

[@curtisthomas2670]

Dasheen is the same as poi or taro leaves

[@princesslee1196]

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

[@daandesmond7427]

Nice food

[@Nick4073]

I didn't know u can melt the Golden Ray Butter in the oil....that's interesting...must try it! Totally love your version 😊

[@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. :)

[@susannarace8873]

My favourite. yummy

[@janellekhan4887]

Good morning our 17years anniversary is today lol my husband is looking at your video to cook for me lol. He's making callaloo bake fish and rice and bake potato.
