🇯🇲 Jamaican Steamed Cabbage 🥬✨ Colourful, flavourful and still slightly crisp—this easy Jamaican steamed cabbage is the perfect side for jerk chicken, curry goat, fried fish or rice and peas. Serves 4–6 Ingredients: * 1 small green cabbage, washed and sliced * 1 large carrot, peeled and grated or julienned * ½ red bell pepper, sliced * ½ yellow bell pepper, sliced * ½ green bell pepper, sliced * ½ medium onion, sliced * 3 scallions, chopped * 3 garlic cloves, minced * 1 small Scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped * 3–4 sprigs fresh thyme * 2 tbsp butter or cooking oil * 1 tsp adobo seasoning * ½ tsp red pepper flakes * ¼ tsp black pepper * ¼ tsp ground allspice * Salt to taste, if needed Method: 1️⃣ Prepare the vegetables Wash and slice the cabbage, bell peppers, onion and scallions. Grate the carrot, mince the garlic and finely chop the Scotch bonnet. Remove its seeds for a milder dish. 2️⃣ Sauté the aromatics Melt the butter or heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, scallions, thyme, bell peppers and Scotch bonnet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, until fragrant and slightly softened. 3️⃣ Add the cabbage Add the carrot and sliced cabbage. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly combined. 4️⃣ Steam the vegetables Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage will release its own moisture as it cooks, so additional water may not be necessary. 5️⃣ Season Add the adobo seasoning, red pepper flakes, black pepper and ground allspice. Toss well and cook uncovered for another 2–3 minutes. 6️⃣ Serve Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the thyme stems and serve while the cabbage is tender but still has a slight crunch.
