I made this cabbage recipe along with your Jamaican oxtail and rice and peas recipes. Let me tell you, my husband was licking his fingers. Two weeks later, guess what he wants for dinner.  Thanks for sharing these amazing recipes with us!!!!

Love this. Had I’d known it was so simple, I would w been making this sooner. Flavor is perfect too.

Delicious and I've been cooking cabbage all my life but this way is THE way!!

Enjoyed the simplicity and great flavors.  I didnt know what to do with  leftover shredded carrots I used for salads and this was perfect!

This delicious Jamaican steamed cabbage makes the perfect Caribbean appetiser or side dish.

Jamaican steamed cabbage

coconut oil ((28 grams))

garlic

thyme (tied together)

½ a head of a VERY large white cabbage (sliced)

carrot

red pepper (sliced finely)

yellow pepper (sliced finely)

½ scotch bonnet (minced (or use 1/4 tsp of chilli powder))

water ((60 milliliters))

tsp all purpose seasoning ((2 grams)see post for recipe)

tbsp dairy free butter ((14 grams))

tsp black pepper ((2 grams))

Melt the coconut oil on medium heat then proceed to saute the onion, garlic along with the sprigs of thyme until soft and tender.

Add the cabbage, carrot, bell peppers and scotch bonnet, fold and stir. The pan may seem overcrowded but the cabbage will reduce as it heats through.

Continue to stir and fold until the cabbage reduces in volume, this should take up to 5 minutes.

Once reduced, lower the heat and add the water, ready for steaming.

Cover the skillet with a lid and steam for 15 minutes (10 minutes or less if you want crunchy cabbage).

Remove the lid and season with the all purpose seasoning, black pepper, butter and salt to taste and stir.

Serve accordingly and sprinkle the cabbage with additional loose thyme (optional).

This recipe was a success. It complemented the rice and jerk chicken beautifully. It was delicious!

Nice and simple recipe. I like crunchy cabbage along with crunchy carrots. What is the vegan butter here? I am not sure of it.

This is such a delicious way to prepare cabbage. Perfect as a side dish with all my favorite jerk recipes!

This recipe makes cabbage so much more delicious.

What I love about this recipe is that it's so easy to make and there's nothing fancy in it. So many vegan recipes leave me hunting all over creation for ingredients.

This recipe has turned cabbage from blah to WOW! The whole family loved it.
