What's sold as "island cabbage" here is usually slippery cabbage, a leaf that turns silky rather than crisp once it hits the pot.
Leafy greens, most often slippery cabbage, are simmered with coconut cream and onion until soft, then served as an everyday side dish at Luganville's market stalls and family tables across rural Santo.
Why it's made this way: Fast-growing and needing little upkeep, these greens are one of the most reliably available vegetables on Santo, and cooking them in coconut cream reflects the same coconut-based technique used throughout the archipelago.
