Trinidad & Tobago Callaloo with Crab

Ingredients:

2 crabs

Salt to taste

6 sliced ochroes

3 tablespoons oil

4 ounces of coconut milk

1 bunch of dasheen bush or 2 bunches of spinach

1 scotch bonnet pepper

Cooking Instructions:

In a large pot heat up the oil until hot. Add the crab claws and fry for at least 3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Next add the dasheen bush along with the ochroes to the pot and stir to coat with oil. Fry for one minute. Add the salt to taste, coconut milk and 8 cups of water and stir. Now bring the pot to a boil with the lid on, then cook on medium low heat. Add the pepper by gently pushing it under surface with a spoon. Next blend the callaloo with a traditional swizzle stick until it is thick and like a soup. Next add the crab meat back into the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
