Steps:

• Melt the coconut oil on medium heat then proceed to sautee the onion, garlic along with the sprigs of thyme until soft and tender.
• Add the cabbage, carrot, bell peppers and scotch bonnet, fold and stir. The pan may seem overcrowded but the cabbage will reduce as it heats through.
• Continue to stir and fold until the cabbage reduces in volume, this should take up to 5 minutes.
• Once reduced, lower the heat and add the water, ready for steaming.
• Cover the skillet with a lid and steam for 15 minutes (10 minutes or less if you want crunchy cabbage).
• Remove the lid and season with the all purpose seasoning, black pepper, butter and salt to taste and stir.
• Serve accordingly and sprinkle the cabbage with additional loose thyme (optional).

JAMAICAN CABBAGE IN THE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Cut out the cabbage's core and use a knife to shred the cabbage leaves. Alternatively, use a food processor to shred the cabbage quickly. (I also remove the outer layer of cabbage leaves and discard them before chopping.)
• Add the shredded cabbage and carrot and all ingredients (chicken broth, butter, salt, pepper, Old Bay, onion, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, carrot, and thyme) into the Instant Pot stainless steel inner pot.
• Sink the cabbage and vegetables as much as you can into the liquid broth.
• Close the Instant Pot lid (make sure the valve is up - in the position for sealing) and pressure cook on high for 4 minutes.
• When the cooking time is finished, allow a natural pressure release for at least 4 minutes.
• To open the Instant Pot lid, move the valve to 'venting' and manually release any remaining pressure, if applicable.
• Serve Jamaican cabbage warm and enjoy!
