8 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 cups full-fat coconut milk
8 large okra pods, stems removed, cut into small 1-inch rounds
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 green onions, diced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
3 cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon allspice berries, crushed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 whole Scotch bonnet, or orange habanero, pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
White rice, for serving

1
In an ample stock pot over medium-high heat, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Place all of the ingredients-except the pepper and butter-into the pot. Stir to combine and place a lid over the pot.
2
After 7 to 10 minutes, when the ingredients are wilted, add the whole pepper to the mixture. Cover with the lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the pepper and discard. Add the butter.
3
Using an immersion hand blender, puree the mixture. (If you don't have an immersion hand blender, then feel free to use a regular blender, working in batches.)
4
Serve hot atop fresh white rice. Or serve as an alternative to spinach dip. To serve as a soup, add 2 to 3 cups boiling water after the callaloo has been pureed (adjust salt and pepper accordingly).
