3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 yellow pepper, cored, deseeded and diced
1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper (see Cook’s tip)
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

How to make Callaloo Spiced Pumpkin Rice

Heat the olive oil in a heavy based pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 6-7 minutes stirring frequently until softened. Add the garlic, peppers, Scotch Bonnet, thyme, allspice and callaloo leaves and fry gently for 2-3 minutes or until soft and tender.
Stir in the coconut milk and lime zest and simmer for 2-3 minutes. There should be some moisture for the rice to absorb but not too wet.
Add the Tilda spiced pumpkin rice to the pan and combine well with the ingredients and cook stirring over a gentle heat for 3 minutes until piping hot. Enjoy as a side dish with Jerk pork or on its own. Enjoy!

If you like things spicy choose a large red Scotch Bonnet chilli – finely chop and add to the rice. For a milder flavour add the chilli whole and remove at the end of the cooking time.
