Sea salt offers a healthier option with less sodium.

Season the salted pigtail and chuck roast beef with chicken bouillon, seasoned salt, black pepper, and complete seasoning, then mix in two heaping tablespoons of fresh green seasoning and marinate for about 2 hours.

Pressure cook the seasoned meats for about 15 minutes.

In a preheated pot, heat oil and add aromatics (onion, garlic, ginger, and herbs) and sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Add callaloo leaves to the pot and cover to wilt them slightly.

Stir in the washed parboiled rice and then add the cooked meats.

Pour in coconut milk and some broth from the cooked meats, avoiding water if preferred.

Add brown sugar and Scotch bonnet pepper, then cover and simmer until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
