Callaloo Rice

Step 1: SAUTÉ AROMATICS

Heat oil in a heavy-based pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 2: ADD THE CALLALOO

Add drained Grace Canned Callaloo to the pot. Stir to combine with the aromatics. Cook for 2 minutes to blend the flavours.

Step 3: ADD LIQUIDS AND RICE

Pour in Grace Coconut Milk and water. Add whole scotch bonnet, thyme and salt. Stir in rinsed rice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4: SIMMER COVERED

Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover tightly — do not lift the lid during cooking. Simmer for 20–22 minutes until all liquid is absorbed and rice is perfectly cooked.

Step 5: REST AND SERVE

Remove from heat. Leave lid on for 5 minutes. Remove scotch bonnet and thyme. Fluff rice gently with a fork. Serve as a nutritious side dish with any Jamaican main.

Serving instructions

Grace Canned Callaloo makes this dish weeknight-friendly without sacrificing flavour. Grace Coconut Milk gives the rice a subtle richness. Never lift the lid during cooking. The whole scotch bonnet adds aroma — remove before serving.
