👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
If using pigtail, boil it in water for about 30 minutes, changing the water once or twice to remove excess salt and tenderize. Drain and set aside. If using chicken, season with all-purpose seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- 2
In a large pot, sauté onion and garlic in a little oil until softened. Add thyme and chopped callaloo leaves (or spinach). Cook for a few minutes until wilted.
- 3
Add water (or stock), coconut milk, prepared pigtail (or chicken), scotch bonnet pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- 4
Add the chopped dasheen, green banana, and sweet potato to the pot. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 25-30 minutes. Add more water if the soup becomes too thick.
- 5
While the soup simmers, prepare dumplings (if using): Mix flour, salt, and enough water to form a soft dough. Knead briefly and set aside.
- 6
Once vegetables are tender, you can mash some of them against the side of the pot to thicken the soup, or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency (optional). Add the dumplings to the simmering soup and cook until they float and are cooked through.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and a pinch of sugar if desired. Remove the scotch bonnet pepper before serving.

- ✓Adjust the amount of scotch bonnet pepper to control the heat level. You can also remove it before blending if you prefer less spice.
- ✓If callaloo leaves are unavailable, spinach is a good substitute, though the flavor will be milder.
