- Chrisal brings back memories of her grandmother's cooking with this callaloo recipe. While callaloo is a dish made in different ways with different ingredients across the Caribbean, they all share some commonality with the influence from our West African heritage.
Add pigtail or crab for another dimension of flavor and serve with rice, provision or even have it on its own as a soup.
Special thanks to Cuisine for sponsoring this recipe. Cuisine products can be found at Massy Stores nationwide.

I just love the girl. Great personality
Indeed

Stew chicken callaloo rice and macaroni pie. Delicious
I love callaloo, just love it by itself! I'd drink it like soup!
Ditto hahah
This host has a naturally, friendly, infectious personality. This was so nice to watch. I can do the menu she mentioned too, just the Callaloo with some rice and stew chicken and I'll add some home made lime pepper sauce. The finished product looks amazing. 💯
Agreed
Yes I just saw this 3 years later, and telling myself this host is so vibzy. Such a beautiful aura complemented with a beautiful smile 🧡🤎
Waw she’s amazing, love her personality.
Callaloo looks delicious!
OMG, looks so tempting. I’ve always heard of callaloo from my Trini friends, but never had pleasure of tasting it. I just know that I’m going to enjoy this. I have a little challenge finding callaloo bush where I live in New York, but I’m going to look for it. I have to try making this mouthwatering dish that you made. I’m vegetarian, will enjoy it anyway. I love your spirit my dear. You’re a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes.🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕
Check Caribbean, Asian or Hawaiian market or supermarket...... ask for Taro leaves.
If you're in the hot south you can buy plants online or in a plant shop and grow them yourselves. Or use regular spinach instead.
Love her videos! She is totally engaging and genuine. Keep using the Trini dialect girl. It adds the extra taste in the local dishes that you present. Blessings.
Juxtaposing "quintessential" with "I does"...what a perfect mix, just like the callaloo! I approve!
Warm, down to earth, using Trini colloquialisms...yass girl!
Can Chrisal please come back to make a baked BBQ chicken or cou cou?
Let me ask the producer 😉
Yes indeed ... coocoo was supposed to be on last Sunday's menu but i backed out and made a corn pie instead yes... didn't have the courage or energy for all that stirring!
Love the recipe! Thank you for sharing🙏🏾😊. Mmmhmm💚😉
Endless flavour and spice in that "Chrisal" voice!!! For sure that Callaloo must taste delicious and full of flavour too! Recipe directions were were easy to follow. Full speed ahead lady!❤❤
What a lovely cook. Love to watch her cook. A real natural!!
Chrisal girl love you💖 yuh leave out de pepper 😄 no worries, add it in anytime. I love the stories about grandmother sorry she's not around to see you cook. The swissell stick does it well 'what ah get meh self in' thanks producer! Girl the hand blender is the way to go. Waiting for you again I totally love watching you, blessings my dear 🌷💖
Chrisal was so engaging and charismatic! Excellent video!!! 💯
Oh Ghosh!! Girl, I just love that I found you. I love how you talk. A real Trinbagonian. I’m here to stay for always🧡
Love your video and great sense of humor. Real down to earth.
What a lovely video! Chrisal is wonderful!
Such a beautiful lady, good job the Callalo looks delicious, goes good with crab, Thank you God bless you
She’s a gem. Love her vibe! Looks great.
Her personality that she incorporated in that Calalloo flavored it more. Stay beautiful as ur cooking chic. Bless.🙏
I'm making callaloo for the first time tonight for Sunday dinner!
"because it tastes good" is an excellent reason to add an ingredient
This is great.. I love sautéing the onions and garlic first. Callaloo taste better this way... I love it..
Watching this delightful video. Question abt the stalks, wouldn't that take longer to cook down than the leaves so could go in before? But i like your step by step, will be sure to try some of your variation as every Sunday is some issue with me and this callaloo!😅
Actually the leaves take longer to break down than the stalks but I do tend to add the stalks before when making mine - (baidawi)
Well for me , once you take off the outer layer of the stalks, it cooks or melts faster ☺️ and that's what I saw my grandmother did
@@chrisalmartin5567 thanks, My mum no longer cooks but she was a purist who striped the stalks, & removed the veins from the leaves. Her callaoo was always divine... but who have time for that when your life is a whole lot of multi-tasking. I also have a cousin who has mastered the art of pressure cooking the callaloo. That one is a technique for the quick and dirty!😎
@@simia7038 yesss veins...I couldn't remember the word so I said rib 🤣🤣🤣. My mom does it in a pressure cooker actually but you work with what you got 😉😉
Love her energyyyy
Crab and dumplings 😋😋 from Japan so so delicious nought watering
yes I used to take out the leaves from the ribs too but your a right, no one has time for that anymore. Now you can get the bush already chopped at the farmer's market
Love it 💓with cornmeal coucou our bajan dish...thanks
Yes that's how I had it with the cornmeal coucou.. and loved it
Ilike your style of doing this dish I like the various steps you did. I think I know how to do this now, Thankyou so nuch.
Where was this gem all the time? More Chrisal MORE MORE!!!!!
You did an excellent job well detailed. I will try mine with smoked turkey
i love cracking the dry coconut, blending the coconut, adding water and straining the milk. Homemade is better. i love your cooking
👍👍👍we love her. Thanks guys.
Producer yuh forget to teach ms crystal how to Swizzle lol
That's a dhal goatnee
The wire one is the Swizzle stick
Love plain callaloo...
That's what I use also. Actual swizzle stick is too hard to clean after using😩
What a great vibe! Great personality.
First time I'm seeing you I love your style of cooking
Love it!!! Chrisal is awesome! 😊
I always keep a little seasoning and add it at the end
The producer could real cook too! 😂👏🏾👏🏾
Love her personality, any more episodes with her?
Yes Gyurl you Izah boss.......So refreshing!!!!!!
Lots of love in this dish, Wonderful presenter, we need to see u more,the camera loves u,an so do we. shalom sis
luv u. hope to see more of you!
This looks really delicious, I never made that dish . I will take one of these days. Girl you look like me really lol I send this video to my family to see what they think .
Ok I had CALALOO couple of times from a Trinidadian friend...it's so good. I'm from Jamaica...I know the Bush is dashine..bush...we have a green veg called CALALOO...I'm a the ingredients and see how it comes out...
In Trinidad we call Jamaican callaloo bush spinach or bhaji or spinach bhaji or chorai bhaji
Like your personality.. I thought I was so original with my short cut method
Thanks eh ! thanks.
Immersion blender very handy or.use both hands with the stick I use virgin coconut oi....
PS Once leaves are young and fresh I don't peel the stalks.
"Crab and caillaloo is sweeter than flying fish and cou cou..." You remind me of that song.
A girl after meh own heart....I love love it slimy too wid plenty ochro and yes ginger iz ah must....love u girl.
Looks divine
Love
You should eat it with Macaroni Pie and Potato Salad 😋
Great vid 👍 my aunt is also a Callaloo specialist lawwww father she’s a boss lol
That Callaloo could go with provision and rice.
Wonderfully.....
Yam!yam!yam! leave some for me.
Lady thank you for this video, you saved my callaloo😁
Will fried fish work as a side
Twist d stick lol
IKR 🤣 I did it in the end...didn't want to mess up my white shirt
Great video❤👍💯
Well done 💝💝
COO COO
Where is the crabs ?
We didn't have anyyyy 😭😭😭😭
@@chrisalmartin5567 - What ??? No crab in the market ?? lol
Sugar?🤔
Yeah....was wondering
Hahah yeh, just a lil. I use it sometimes...it doesn't taste sweet...don't worry 😉
No Golden Ray???
Ohhh do a vegan macaroni pie yummy
I know your sister gal😁. Channel Martin.
Ha ha, the story about you and your mum sounds like me and mine, she always wants to core her greens, I'll just cut them up and put them in. For me though it's mainly because it seems like a waste to not cook the whole leaf.
I learn in Trinidad 🇹🇹 not to peal dasheen bush it the Key part. Of it
Cocou
That a Daul gotnee
Yea keep her she good. my callaloo better though lol
Hahahah Im sure it is...everybody makes it different, thats what I love about it
Ah keep lokin at yo lef han an ah donet see a wring?? so how about it?? wha u say???
Too much talking I want straight to the point
That looks like TARRO , not real CALLALOO, which is amaranth!
ln Trinidad and Tobago taro is called callaloo bush or dasheen bush.
Amaranth is called spinach bhaji in Trinidad and Tobago.
Break the pepper nuh girl?? wha wrong wid u??
She is beautiful 😍
@eatahfood where have you'll been hiding Chrisal? She's a natural. You'll need to have Chrisal do more videos. She's not only funny but she's taking the time to explain as she goes along. Can't wait to see more of Chrisal!
Oh mah gosh, thank you. It was fun...as you can tell, the kitchen was hot 🤣😂
@@chrisalmartin5567you're welcome. Can't wait for another recipe..
She is a natural I agree
Chrisal Martin is so beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾😍
Dope 🔥🔥🔥✌🏻👏👏👏
The reason why your grandmother took all sections of the leaf and threw away the stem, is because you are cooking with Taro leaf, which when cooked with its' stems/veins incorrectly gives you itchy throat. So by throwing away all the veins in taro leaf, your grandmother eliminated the itchy throat 'syndrome'-clever lady. Fiji Indians also have a similar dish like Callaloo and it is called 'Raro'. Leaves cooked in garlic, onion and bit of cumin and then added with cocoanut milk and left to simmer-delicious. So interesting to see various other vegetables added to your dish.
I love her personality
Yes, realness at it's best.
Yes, me too a natural. She knows what she’s doing
Yes, just being herself. Comes across so natural
Even the pot constantly rocking in the grill did not annoy me..
@@helenprescott8268 😂😂😂
Anybody else here happy to finally learn wat callaloo is? I heard bout it in an episode of the Cosby show many moons ago and am a huge lover of Caribbean food. But I had nvr heard of this before then and am just now learning what it is. Ty & me love the channel. Peace & blessings & big up ya self! Definite rate! Respect ✊. Happy I subbed to the channel since me watch the geera shrimp video. Bless up eatahfood!
Where have you been hiding Chrisal Martin? This was one of your best videos, she is very engaging, she told stories about the dish and her childhood memories, she grabbed the viewer attention, she spoke clearly as she explained what Callaloo is, no moment of silence, and she always talking about the dish and the process, most important she plugged the sponsor at the key moments, I could go on and on about this lovely lady; I think many will agree with me when I say we need to see her on more!! Great job ♥️🙏
She's a very pretty woman. 😍 I like to burst the hot peppers at the end for a lil heat, then remove it. I also add a few chopped pieces of pimento pepper at the end.
Ohhhh yeh, pimentos at the end will be soo good.
Yes to the ginger!...it's a must....takes it to another level👍❤
Ent!!! 😁
I LOVED every minute of this video! We need to have Chrisal back for more cooking sessions, she's funny and so natural on camera and engaging. ... I have to try your technique as i don't usually make mine this way
I was into this. I was talking back to her and everything. Excellent presenter.
Thought it was me alone, lmaoooo. I'm here all uhuh, aha and yessss I r/ber that etc!
😆😆😆
I dont generally watch videos past 7 mins but I watched this here to the end. I don't cook nor do I like the idea of cooking either. This lady is inspiration.
I’m Jamaican and never had that dish . It looks mouthwatering. I just your Trini accent.
Goodmorning Crisal and Badawi, i am. Watching this episode at 4am. First of all what energy your chef brings to the show,great execution. Those knife skills are BOSS. Hope to see more of Chrisal. Keep well all.
That looks amazing my daughter love it I'm not okra fan Simply Delicious🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
When u despise callaloo, but watched the entire video with a smile. Love the video!! Hope to see more of her!
Awwww, thank you. It was vibez.
So it had to take a search of different ways to cook callaloo for me to see my neighbor whom I haven't seen in yeaaarrrrsss and lived just 2 streets away lol! Hi Chrisal! Nice to see you doing your thing
The callaloo needs to be fried/cooked properly before you add coconut milk and there won't be any need to swizzle it.
Yes mon jah know seh mi cyah hav sunday lunch or breakfast wit out di callaloo and di bammy and di ackee and saltfish mhhhhmmmhh
Greetings! Sista, I must say your Callaloo dish looks so DELICIOUS 😋...and easy to follow. And, might I add, your personally is the BOMB!! THE BEST EVER!! Real down-to-earth!! Just like home (country talk) and very comfortable and music 🎵 to my ears. Keep up the awesome good vibes. I will definitely try this (my vegan way). I will make a few changes to fit my taste. Nuff Blessings to you into the future 🥗😋💗
Wow! Looks like a Sierra Leonean dish called casava leaves 😋
This was a great video I jusr love the way you speak
Awww, thanks so much
I love your personality, it makes me feel like I'm watching/listening to someone from my Honduras. Nice video.😊
She is a delight to watch and listen to...made the experience special ..
Her nature and spontaneity wins one's heart straight away.
looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you.
Stew pork and white rice lol
Great video! Sugar? Never head of that. The swizzle stick was all they had back then not because a blender made in more fine. Taking out the ribs of the leaves prevents people from having an allergic reaction it makes the throat and skin itchy.
Where is the Shado Beni?
This isn't curry! 😂
@@saryarohit2925 tell them
So how you naaa tell wii how long it take Fi cook
