Ingredients

1. 3 ounces salt pork, cut into 3 pieces
2. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3. 1 teaspoon annatto powder
4. 1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
5. 1/4 cup water
6. 2 pounds callaloo, thick stems trimmed, or spinach
7. Salt and freshly ground pepper

1. 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. Discard the salt pork, season with salt and pepper and serve.
