My Steamed Chili Cabbage recipe takes the humble cabbage to new heights of flavor and yumminess! Let’s face it, cabbage isn’t the most exciting of vegetables, but it is a very healthy one. So it just needs a bit of a helping hand to make it dinner table-worthy.
My solution is to load it with strong and yummy flavors, including my star ingredient – scotch bonnet pepper! If you haven’t heard of it before, scotch bonnet is one of the strongest chili peppers out there. So strong that I don’t want you to cut it at all for this recipe – just leave it whole and believe me the heat will make its own way into the dish! Another important tip is to make sure you don’t overcook it, as so many people tend to do with cabbage. Take the pan off the heat as soon as you reach the stage where the cabbage is soft but still with a bit of a bite – then it’s perfect!
To make Steamed Chili Cabbage, you will need the following ingredients:
Place a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the margarine and heat until melted.
Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring every now and again, until the onion turns translucent.
Put the cabbage, garlic, thyme and water into the pan. Bring the water to a boil then lower the heat slightly and place a lid over the pan. Leave to cook for 8-10 minutes, until the cabbage has softened.
Add the whole chili pepper to the pan, along with some salt and pepper to taste, and stir in.
Keep the pan simmering for another couple of minutes, them remove from the heat. You can remove the chili pepper before serving, or place it in the center of the dish for decoration.
