Instructions

1
Warm the Coconut Oil in a heavy casserole and brown the callaloo well on all sides — real colour means real flavour.
2
Lift the callaloo out, soften the onion and garlic in the same pot, then add the allspice.
3
Return the callaloo, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.
4
Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.
5
Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh thyme right before serving.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
