Ingredients
1 large cabbage
1 medium onion
1 medium carrot
2 cloves garlic
½ orange sweet bell pepper
¼ yellow sweet bell pepper
2 sprig of thyme
2 tbsp rice bran oil
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
½ scotch bonnet pepper
Directions
Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the middle then wash the leaves and slice into small pieces. Set aside.
Peel, wash and chop the carrot into thin strips.
Chop the onion and bell peppers into small pieces.
Finely cut the garlic.
Add the oil, onion, garlic and thyme to a saucepan on medium heat and let it cook for about 3 minutes until the onion is a bit soft.
Add the cabbage, bell pepper, carrot, scotch bonnet pepper if using any and SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste. Stir well.
Turn the heat to low. Cover saucepan and let the vegetables steam until soft and tender. (I personally like vegetables crispy. Whenever I am cooking for myself, the cabbage and carrot cook for no more than 10 minutes.)
Add the black pepper. After about 2-3 minutes turn the heat off.
Jamaican steam cabbage goes well with hard food, pumpkin rice and if you are having it for lunch, try it with fried dumpling.
