I saw this in my EMAZING recipe of the day: Sounds like something Julius
makes.
Callaloo
[Moderator's note: Yep, Julius makes it, and it is yummy!]
Traditionally this Caribbean soup is made with taro root
leaves (callaloo) instead of spinach.
Serves 4-6
2 ounces Salt pork, diced
1 medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 pound Spinach leaves, chopped
6 cups Chicken broth
8 ounces Okra, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
8 ounces Crabmeat
1 cup Coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the pork in a large, heavy soup pot. Add the onion and
garlic and cook until just soft. Stir in the spinach and
cook for 1 minute. Add the broth, thyme, and okra. Bring to
a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in
the coconut milk and crab. Simmer for 15 minutes longer.
Check the seasoning. Serve warm.
