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.

- 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.
