Here is the first entry that was brought to ThatsSoYummy’s Food and Wine Mixer, Callaloo Fritters
For those of you who do not know what callaloo is let me give you a brief definition.
Callaloo is a Caribbean dish that is most popular in Trinidad and Tobago, with variants in Guyana, Barbados, Guadeloupe, Grenada, Haiti, Dominica, and Jamaica. The foundation of Callaloo is green leaves and vegetables, such as Chinese spinach or Indian kale, ordinary spinach, or even Swiss chard.
These were quite tasty….. Enjoy!
