Jamaican Cabbage
This spicy Jamaican-style cabbage dish with chile pepper is delicious with jerk chicken or pork.
INGREDIENTS :
- 1 head cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- ½ chopped green bell pepper
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1 whole Scotch bonnet chile pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt (Optional)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
DIRECTION:
- Peel tough outer leaves from cabbage. Core the head and shred cabbage; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion, bell pepper, and green onion. Cook and stir vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes. Mix in Scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, and salt.
- Stir cabbage and carrots into onion mixture until thoroughly combined. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage starts to soften, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in vinegar and sugar. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender, about 3 more minutes. Discard Scotch bonnet pepper and thyme before serving.
