Callaloo Rice
I tend to be really meticulous with how I go about uploading recipes on this blog. I am so particular and exacting in my standards that often times many of my best recipes never make it here. SWhilst some are indeed being saved for a cookbook, I have to say that the time restraints have gotten the better of me over the years. ome recipes have been ingrained in my mind but I haven’t uploaded them because I haven’t gotten the time to do a proper photoshoot for them.
Often times I am cooking these dishes for others either in a class or a private dining experience and there is just not enough time to pause to do a whole food photoshoot in the natural flow of things. I have missed this space… to write and share recipes and so much more… FEEDing you and FREEing you by feeding your body, soul. spirit and pocket. This is one of one of those recipes that does all the above.
It just hits every spot. Especially the foodie spot.
What is Callaloo?
Read more about Callaloo in my post in which I grew it from seeds, harvested it and cooked it. Yup, my very own seed to table, Chef and Steward style! We even have a video with Jaja (my apprentice) helping me in the Chef and Steward Kitchen garden.
Bonus.. here is my Crustless Callaloo Quiche Recipe (GlutenFree and Low Carb).
