Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. Peel tough outer leaves from cabbage. Core the head and shred cabbage; set aside.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
