In this class we teach Jamaican cooking. Callaloo and Plantain is a dish cooked not only in Jamaica but certain parts of the Caribbean and certain West African countries. Callaloo is known as a Jamaican spinach. It is cooked along with peppers, onions, and garlic. With an amazing earthy aroma and great taste. It pairs great with fried plantain. For those who are not aware of plantain it comes from the banana family. The ripped plantain is sweet and tastes like sweet potatoes and normally pairs with savory foods.
Due to the hands-on nature of this program, all participants must sign a waiver prior to participating. Physical copies of the waiver will be available the day of the program.
