Notes
Cut the cabbage into thin shreds. This will reduce cooking time and results in the cabbage releasing water faster for better steaming.
Thyme and allspice are a big part of Jamaican cuisine. Don't omit or substitute these ingredients.
Coconut oil adds an aroma and subtle flavor that's really really good. If you have it on hand, definitely use it, otherwise go with olive oil.
Habanero makes for a fine substitute to scotch bonnet pepper. My favorite flavor hack with cooking hot chilis is to add them whole after cutting slits into each side of the scotch bonnet. This helps infuse the dish with flavor from the chili without adding that high heat!
Don't overcook this dish. You want all the ingredients including the carrots, peppers, onions, etc. to have some crunch to them. Using too much oil and cooking too long will result in almost mushy cabbage which will not be as fun to eat.
