Ingredients: 8 oz fresh callaloo or spinach & dasheen greens, chopped; ⅓ cup yellow cornmeal; ¼ cup all-purpose flour; 2 scallions, minced; 1 scotch bonnet pepper, minced (seeds removed); 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 large egg; 2 tbsp coconut milk; sea salt & black pepper; 1 cup neutral oil for frying; ½ cup sour cream or crème fraîche (for crema); juice of 1 lime & zest; 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped; 1 small red onion, thinly sliced; ¼ cup red wine vinegar; 1 tsp allspice berries, crushed; 1 bay leaf

Tender callaloo (or spinach-dasheen green mix) bound with cornmeal and fresh herbs, formed into small fritters and fried until the exterior shatters. Served with a silky, cilantro-lime crema and a sharp pickled onion kissed with allspice and bay—the Caribbean triumvirate of spice, heat, and acid.
