Caribbean Spicy Cabbage
Ingredients
  • 1 head cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1 whole Scotch bonnet chile pepper
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
1
Remove the outer, tough layers from the cabbage head by gently pulling them off. Next, carefully remove the core and shred the remaining cabbage into bite-sized pieces; set it aside for now.
2
In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high temperatures until it starts to shimmer. Add the onion, bell pepper, and green onion to the skillet and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes have passed.
3
Now, add the Scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, and salt to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together until the flavors are well combined.
4
Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet with the vegetables, stirring until they are fully incorporated into the mixture. Cover the skillet and lower the heat to a more moderate temperature, allowing it to simmer gently. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and become more tender, roughly 10 minutes have elapsed.
5
Stir in the vinegar and sugar to give the dish a tangy flavor. Continue cooking, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and fully cooked, approximately 3 more minutes have passed.
6
Finally, discard the Scotch bonnet pepper and thyme before serving your delicious dish.
