CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
When I was growing up on the island we used to call this dish “Fire Engine” and one day on our return from the beach, while I was in the kitchen preparing this dish my mom’s car caught on fire right at the front door of the house. So when I heard my cousin screaming “Fire Engine” I said to them, “I didn’t know you like this dish that much, clam down I’ll be finished in a minute”. This is a very quick, easy and economical meal that will make your mouth water.
Ingredients:
1 tin Corned Beef
½ head Cabbage, shredded large
1 med. Onion
½ tsp Thyme
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
¼ Green bell peppers, sliced

Preparation:
In a medium frying pan over medium heat sauté onion, green pepper and cabbage along with thyme and black pepper. Add tomato paste, hot sauce and ketchup cook until slightly browned. Add water. Add corn beef and blend. Lower heat and simmer 10 minutes.
Serving suggestion:
This dish is perfect served over fluffy white rice with whole kernel corn or coleslaw.
