Callaloo Chicken Roulade Recipes

Steps:

• Separate leaves from stems. Thoroughly wash leaves and strip the stems. Tear leaves apart with hands into smaller pieces. Chop stems into about 2 inches length.
• Add all the ingredients into a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 20 mins or until the okra seeds turn pink.
• Taste and season with salt & pepper if necessary.
• When the callaloo is done the leaves and okras should be tender and there should be enough liquid to blend the ingredients. If not add a little warm water to bring to a soup consistency.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the pork tails before blending.
• Using a hand blender, blend the callaloo until all the ingredients are pureed.
• Store in a clean pot with pork tails and reheat before serving.
• Serve with rice, stewed Caribbean chicken, potato salad, boiled provisions, cole slaw, pigeon peas and macaroni pie.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Grease a baking sheet.
• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a uniform thickness of 1 inch.
• Heat spinach in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Whisk eggs, Parmesan cheese, and milk together in a bowl.
• Stir egg mixture into the spinach; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Spread about 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of the spinach mixture onto each pounded chicken breast.
• Roll each breast into a cylinder shape, secure ends with toothpicks, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle bread crumbs atop rolled chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. Allow chicken to rest for several minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.

Steps:

• Put salted pork pieces in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Drain off this water. Repeat this process to draw off the excess salt from the salted meat.
• Heat the oil in a large pot and add the onion, garlic, celery and fresh herbs. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add okras, pumpkin and dasheen leaves and sauté for another minute or so. Add the coconut milk and stock or water, crab and hot pepper.
• Keep an eye on that hot pepper use one that is not bruised. You DO NOT want that pepper to burst while cooking. The heat from the burst pepper will overpower the other flavours.
• Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 35 minutes.
• Taste and add salt if needed.
• Remove hot pepper and crab or meat, and swizzle the callaloo, or put in a blender or you can use an immersion type blender, and beat until smooth. Return the crab or meat pieces to the soup. Add the cooking margarine or butter. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Stir well.
• Serve hot as a soup on it's own or as a side dish.

Steps:

• Add butter to a saute pan with onions, carrots and Scotch bonnet on a medium heat. Saute vegetables for 2 minutes.
• Add callaloo, all-purpose seasoning and black pepper. Cover and steam for 4 minutes.
• Add garlic, green onion and tomatoes. Cook until callaloo is tender, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Clean the taro leaves by removing the skin from the stalks, and removing the tip from the center rib. Rinse, and cut into bite size pieces.
• Place the taro leaves, okra, onion, thyme, garlic, salted pig's tail, pumpkin, water, habanero pepper (whole), and coconut milk into a large pot. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
• Add the crab to the pot. Be careful not to puncture the habanero pepper. Cover, and continue to simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the habanero, and season with salt to taste. Puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. You could also puree in small batches using a blender. Serve over rice.
