Caribbean Cabbage in Wine Sauce

My interpretation of a spicy Caribbean side dish served at a legendary Jamaican restaurant in my town. I like to serve this with a full Caribbean-style meal of Jerk Chicken, Jamaican Rice and Peas, Fried Plantain and cornbread.

Step: 1

Pour the water into a large pot. Separate cabbage into leaves, and place in a steamer basket. Set the basket into the pot with the water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and place the ear of corn over the cabbage. Cover, and steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until corn is tender. Remove the basket from the pot, and cool slightly.

Step: 2

Cut the ear of corn into four pieces and place them in a serving bowl with the cabbage. Combine the butter, vermouth, shallots, garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes; pour over the cabbage, and stir to coat evenly. Separate the salad onto four plates, and garnish each one with a piece of the corn.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. If you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can made a dish do more often .
