Classic Jamaican Callaloo with Saltfish

This authentic variation captures the heart of a traditional Jamaican breakfast by pairing earthy leafy greens with savory salted cod. While fresh callaloo is preferred, this recipe works beautifully with spinach or kale, offering a nutritious and flavorful start to the day.

Ingredients

1 lb fresh callaloo leaves (or fresh spinach/kale), chopped
8 oz salted codfish (saltfish)
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 stalks scallion (green onion), chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium tomato, diced
1 whole Scotch bonnet pepper
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the salted codfish to remove surface salt. Boil in a pot of water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess salt. Drain, rinse with cold water, remove any bones or skin, and flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Wash the callaloo (or substitute greens) thoroughly. Strip the leaves from tough stalks and chop roughly. If using tender stems, peel and chop them as well.

  3. 3

    Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and scallions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the flaked saltfish to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently to let the flavors meld.

  5. 5

    Stir in the diced tomato and thyme leaves, cooking for 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Add the chopped callaloo and black pepper. Place the whole Scotch bonnet pepper on top (do not cut it open, it is just for aroma). Pour in the water.

  7. 7

    Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low-medium. Steam for 7-10 minutes until the greens are tender but still vibrant green.

  8. 8

    Remove the lid and stir well. Remove the Scotch bonnet pepper carefully before serving. Serve hot.
