I'm not a vegetarian, but this callaloo is so good that I don't even miss the meat.

This callaloo is a bit spicy, but I love it that way. If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of scotch bonnet peppers.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The callaloo was creamy and flavorful, and the dumplings were light and fluffy.
