Chef Marcus Samuelsson's Take on Callaloo image

Callaloo is the national dish of my country. This is a chef's version of this dish as featured in Oprah's magazine. It is nothing like the traditional Trinidadian soup which utilizes the leaves of the dasheen(taro) plant. This is actually a Spinach soup as most of the ingredients are different. This doeasn't appeal to my tastes and I don't have any intention of making it but others may enjoy it.

This callaloo is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the bright green color and the mild flavor.

I love how versatile this callaloo is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped tomatoes and corn.

This callaloo is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The flavor is incredible. I highly recommend it.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this callaloo without the seafood. It was still very flavorful and satisfying. I served it with rice and beans.

This callaloo is a great way to use up leftover greens. I had some collard greens and spinach that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the pot. It turned out great!

I made this callaloo for a potluck and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of pumpkin. It gave the dish a nice sweetness.

This callaloo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll use less scotch bonnet peppers next time.

I'm not a big fan of callaloo, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of coconut milk and scotch bonnet peppers gives it a unique and delicious flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This callaloo is a flavor explosion! The combination of greens, seafood, and spices is simply divine. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. My family and friends raved about it. Will definitely be making this again and again.
