Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel tough outer leaves from cabbage. Core the head and shred cabbage; set aside.
- 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.
- Stir the cabbage and carrots in the 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.
- Stir in vinegar and sugar. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 3 more minutes. Discard Scotch bonnet pepper and thyme before serving.
