Technique to learn

Layered Cabbage Sauteing

Sweating cabbage over medium-low heat inside a covered skillet with warm aromatics to ensure uniform softening without wateriness.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat red palm oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2: Add sliced onion, minced garlic, and fresh ginger, cooking for 3 minutes until soft and aromatic.
Stir in chopped roma tomatoes and scotch bonnet pepper, cooking for 5 minutes until tomatoes break down into a bright sauce.

Step 4: Add shredded green cabbage to the skillet, tossing with tongs to coat evenly in the tomato mixture.

Step 5: Cover skillet and cook on medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes until cabbage is tender-crisp.

Step 6: Gently fold in flaked hot-smoked salmon and warm through for 2 minutes before serving.

Cooking tips

Flake smoked salmon gently so large tender pieces remain visible throughout the dish.
Avoid overcooking cabbage so it retains a pleasant tender bite.
