coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + cornstarch

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: serrano pepper

Jalapeño provides heat with less intensity.

Remove the tough parts of the stalk and any damaged leaves from the callaloo.

Wash the callaloo with salt to remove any insects, then rinse it again.

Cut the callaloo stalks small so they cook evenly with the leaves.

Chop one scallion (or two if preferred) into small pieces.

Chop green bell pepper into small pieces.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped scallion and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened.

Add the prepared callaloo to the skillet and cook for about 15 minutes until tender.
