I saw this in my EMAZING recipe of the day: Sounds like something Julius
makes.
Callaloo

[Moderator's note: Yep, Julius makes it, and it is yummy!]
Traditionally this Caribbean soup is made with taro root
leaves (callaloo) instead of spinach.
Serves 4-6
2 ounces Salt pork, diced
1 medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 pound Spinach leaves, chopped
6 cups Chicken broth
8 ounces Okra, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
8 ounces Crabmeat
1 cup Coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the pork in a large, heavy soup pot. Add the onion and
garlic and cook until just soft. Stir in the spinach and
cook for 1 minute. Add the broth, thyme, and okra. Bring to
a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in
the coconut milk and crab. Simmer for 15 minutes longer.
Check the seasoning. Serve warm.

The use of spinach leaves in place of dasheen (colocasia) leaves should be
banned, and made a federal crime!
Jail them, jail them I say!
We use the large land-crabs, which are kept in a pen, purged with fresh,
green chili leaves, fed soaked soft corn, then cleaned and cooked with the
calaloo. A GOOD substitute is the larger american 'blue' crabs, but
cleaned (backs removed, tripe cleaned out), or bits of shrimp.
By the way, when I made this and other Aroid-based 'treats' for my
presentation at the monthly Aroid meeting at Fairchild gardens a couple of
years ago, some sort of strange malandy overcame some of the normally
cultured 'guests', it made them raise their plates to face-level and lick
them clean! The late Dr. Monroe Birdsey was particularly fond of this
calaloo!
