- 1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 pounds callaloo, thick stems trimmed, or spinach
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- In a large soup pot, cook the pork over moderate heat, turning frequently, until it begins to brown and some of the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes.
- Add the butter and annatto and cook, stirring, until the butter is melted.
- Stir in the onion, cover and cook over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the water and bring to a boil.
- Add half of the callaloo, cover and cook until just barely wilted.
- Add the remaining callaloo, cover and cook until fully wilted, about 5 minutes longer.
