Yummy Callaloo with saltfish Dahl&Rice 🇬🇾 guyanese style 🇬🇾

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + cornstarch

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

saltfish

🥗Healthier: smoked tofu

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna provides a similar texture at a lower cost.

Soak saltfish in water overnight to remove excess salt.

Drain and rinse the saltfish, then boil in fresh water until tender, about 20 minutes.

Flake the cooked saltfish into small pieces and set aside.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced tomato and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add callaloo and thyme; cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.

In a separate pot, rinse the rice and add water; bring to a boil and cook according to package instructions.

Add the flaked saltfish to the callaloo mixture; stir to combine.

Pour in coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Incorporate red lentils and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Season with black pepper to taste.

Serve the callaloo and saltfish over a bed of rice, garnished with chopped scallions.
