Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Heat a large saute pan on med-high heat and add oilStep 2
Add cumin and mustard seeds, and once they start to pop add the ginger, garlic, tomatoes and pimento and cilantro and stirStep 3
Add the ½ cup coconut milk and stir. Allow to cook and bubble for 3 minutes stirring to prevent burningStep 4
Add the spinach, red kidney beans and vegetables and sprinkle in the ground cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 min until the spinach has wilted but not released all of its liquid. Taste for seasoning.Step 5
Add all the remaining milk and 1-2 cups of water. Allow to come to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, keep covered and allow to cook until butternut squash is soft. You only need enough water to allow the butternut squash to cook, but not enough to turn into a soup.Step 6
Calalloo is finished when the spinach is still bright green but has absorbed the flavour.Step 7
Serve over a bed of ⅔ cup whole grainsNote
There should be a bit of gravy from the milk once finished. If not, add more milk. You may use 1/3 of a deseeded jalapeno pepper instead of the pimento6 Comments
