Ingredients

  • 1 lb Fresh callaloo leaves (or spinach), chopped
  • 14 oz Coconut milk
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 2 cups Pumpkin, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large Sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 piece Scotch bonnet pepper (whole)
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the vegetable broth and coconut milk over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and the cubed pumpkin and sweet potato to the liquid.

  3. 3

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chopped callaloo leaves and the fresh thyme sprigs.

  5. 5

    Carefully place the whole scotch bonnet pepper on top of the liquid, ensuring it does not burst so the broth stays mild.

  6. 6

    Cover the pot and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes until the pumpkin and sweet potato are fork-tender.

  7. 7

    Remove the whole scotch bonnet pepper and the woody thyme stems before serving.

  8. 8

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and garnish with sliced green onions.
