🇯🇲 Jamaica recipe
Callaloo
Callaloo is one of Jamaica's most nutritious and beloved dishes, a simple saute of leafy greens that appears at breakfast tables across the island. The greens are quickly cooked with aromatic seasonings until just wilted, retaining their vibrant color and slight bite. In Jamaica, callaloo refers specifically to the leaves of the amaranth plant, though spinach or taro leaves are common substitutes.
