Callaloo Jamaican Style
This recipe pairs tender, savory callaloo with sweet, caramelized fried plantains for a classic Jamaican meal. The callaloo, made with kale, bacon, and aromatics, cooks down in one pan. While the greens steam until tender, you can prepare the plantains, frying them until they're golden brown and slightly crisp. It's a balanced dish that hits salty, smoky, and sweet notes.

Prep and Soak Kale
First, strip the leaves and any tender stems from the kale branches. Give them a good rinse, then let them soak in a bowl of cold water for about 5 to 10 minutes while you get the rest of your ingredients ready. - 02
Prep Aromatics
While the kale soaks, slice the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the tomato. Set these aside for later.
