  • Recipe and method for Boiled Beef and Plantain:
    • Ingredients:
    • 8-10 dasheen (calallo) leaves (I'd use 2lb)
  • 2 lb green plantains, peeled
  • 2-3 lb breadfruit, peeled (you could probably double this or so up out for more plantains if you're feeling extra mean to the prisoners), prepared for cooking
  • 1 scotch bonnet (or habenero) pepper (again this is local but feel free to leave it out)
  • 1/2lb corned beef - (I'd use those little square tins that you have to pry open
  • Water - as a substitute for coconut milk
  • Method:
    • Wash and peel breadfruit. Cut into 8 sections. Remove center lengthways of each section and cut into half crosswise.
  • Chop dasheen leaves coarsely. Don't do this if you are using spinach
  • Place the greens on the bottom of a pot, then layer with breadfruit, more greens, plantains, the meat, and more greens.
  • Cover with enough water to cover the surface of the greens.
  • Boil for 1-3 hours, preferably over an open fire, or until breadfruit and plantains are soft.
  • Serve hot with a side of sadness.
