Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound spinach or other tender, leafy green
1 pound cabbage or kale
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
1/2 Scotch bonnet pepper (any color), seeded and minced
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the greens thoroughly in 3 baths of water (there's nothing worse than grit!). With some water still clinging on, shred the greens and cabbage and put them in separate bowls.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the onion and Scotch bonnet pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and mix it together, cooking for 2 minutes more. Add the spinach, stirring as it wilts and mixes with the cabbage. Add the vinegar, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the salt and black pepper.
