This stewed cabbage is a traditional Jamaican recipe, passed down to Tubby from her mother. While her mom’s recipe was not traditionally vegan, the recipe has easily been altered to match our vegan mission.
A half head of cabbage gets cooked down with sweet onion, tomato, and ketchup along with a green bell pepper, black pepper, and salt for balance. This recipe is not only vegan, but low calorie and rich in vitamin C. This side-dish is commonly served with corned beef or salt fish.
To make a complete vegan meal, cook with your favorite bean like garbanzo or butter beans or beans of your choice. Play Tubby’s playlist “Oh. Wow. Yum!” featuring Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Bob Marley & The Wailers, and Lauryn Hill while you cook and enjoy your stewed cabbage.
