Callaloo

[verycute1]

Can someone give me a good recipe for this using the frozen spinach and frozen ocra and without crab? I live in a small country town, two people from the caribbean, me and a jamaican lady, so I cant get anything west indian. My 3 year old has developed a liking for the stuff and my sister in brooklyn gave me a recipe on the phone - 2 packages frozen spinach, half a can evaporated milk, 2 maggie cubes (which I can't get here at all)  and dump everything in the pot, boil and blend. I  like a recipe with a few more directions .... very literal person, like to have a written recipe to follow.

Ok so I try a ting there with your recipe (and a few improvs) and with my sis on the phone yelling. It didnt come out too bad, not enuff salt. Or perhaps too much coconut water and evaporated milk (she insist) so It was a bit bland. Plus I think I could have left it in the blender a bit longer. But otherwise.... I eat it and the princess eat it. So it was a good start.
