Clean and wash the callaloo, then cut it up.

Prepare the salt fish and seasoning mix with bell pepper, scallion, garlic, and onion.

Soak the bammy in milk for a few minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Heat some extra virgin olive oil in a pan, add Mrs. Dash, garlic powder, Maggi seasoning, and all-purpose seasoning, then cover to let it steam.

Add butter to the pan and then the soaked bammy, turning the stove on low.

Cover the bammy and let one side steam until slightly brown, then flip it over.

Add a little more butter for the other side and cover to steam again.

Once both sides of the bammy are golden brown and crispy, remove from heat.

Serve the steamed callaloo with salt fish and the butter-steamed bammy, alongside ripe plantain.
