This vibrant callaloo stew is a nutritious, Caribbean-inspired dish that brings together earthy leafy greens with the subtle sweetness of pumpkin. Using fresh okra and aromatic thyme, the recipe creates a beautifully textured base, while a hint of Scotch bonnet chilli provides a gentle, warming heat. It is a wonderful way to enjoy seasonal greens and squash in a comforting, savoury bowl that is naturally high in fibre and flavour.
As a diabetes-friendly meal, this stew focuses on lean protein and low-glycemic vegetables to help maintain steady energy levels. The addition of smoked ham provides a deep, savoury note without the need for excessive salt. It is a versatile choice for a healthy midweek dinner, served either on its own as a light soup or alongside a small portion of brown rice for a more substantial meal.
