There is a way to really get added flavour to the dish…when you heat the oil and add the garlic, before you add the spinach add half of the pepper and onion…this will flavour the oil then add the spinach. The flavoured oil will allow the flavour to be well distributed add the rest of the onion and some thyme reduce the heat and for those who need to cut dowm on cholesterol, add 1/2 cup of coconut water it gives the flavour and reduces the double wammie of oil and coconut milk. If you want you can also use coconut flakes less cholesterol if you can find unsweetened flakes..I love this dish and our staple was not roti but ground provisions or rice……my favourite dish with stewed chicken orsalted cosdfish stew……

Okay so I never really learn to cook that much being the last of nine girls. Got married to a Trini man who love his belly. I will be trying out these recipes, they look so good.

Do you use coconut milk or coconut cream? I brought some coconut cream, b/c it's listed in the ingredients. The cream that I purchase was in the refrigerated section and it's hard like a frozen stick of butter.

pig tail.. you sound like my dad. he believes that "salt" meat should be included in every dish prepared. He makes a killer bhaji with pigtail and coconut milk. Enjoyed with "sailors" (flour dumplings)

happy cooking

Chris, look what I found! http://www.mckenzieseeds.com/products.aspx?productID=131388

I found the scientific name when I was looking up “bhaji”. It’s an Amaranthus. I bet you could grow it in the garden! I’m going to buy the seeds and try it this season.
