1 bunch dasheen leaves (root vegetable of the Caribbean or tarrow root)
15 okra (soft tips, cut into 1 inch pieces )
2 stems chives (chopped coarsely)
1 onion (medium, sliced)
1 sprig thyme (stem and leaves)
1 bunch celery (chopped roughly)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
1 whole hot pepper
1 pimentos (chopped)
2 1/2 cups coconut milk (freshly squeezed, coconut milk powder or frozen can be used)
1/4 lb salted pork tail (adding pig tail is optional. Boil out salt 30 mins in water until tender and cut in to 1inch pieces)
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt

1
Separate leaves from stems. Thoroughly wash leaves and strip the stems. Tear leaves apart with hands into smaller pieces. Chop stems into about 2 inches length.
2
Add all the ingredients into a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 20 mins or until the okra seeds turn pink.
3
Taste and season with salt & pepper if necessary.
4
When the callaloo is done the leaves and okras should be tender and there should be enough liquid to blend the ingredients. If not add a little warm water to bring to a soup consistency.
5
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the pork tails before blending.
6
Using a hand blender, blend the callaloo until all the ingredients are pureed.
7
Store in a clean pot with pork tails and reheat before serving.
8
Serve with rice, stewed Caribbean chicken, potato salad, boiled provisions, cole slaw, pigeon peas and macaroni pie.
