Notes

Jamaican Cabbage Tips

  • This recipe is the perfect way to use up your leftover cabbage.
  • To shred the cabbage, first cut into quarters, remove the inner stalk and then you should be able to shred it easily.
  • You can use chicken or beef broth if you are not vegetarian.
  • Feel free to use a milder chili or skip the chili entirely if you prefer.
  • If you like your carrots a little bit softer add them in earlier, along with the onions.
