3. Turn off heat and let rice sit covered off heat for 5 minutes.
4. Garnish with Chopped Green Onion.

MAKE SAUTÉED PURPLE CABBAGE:

1. In a pan add the chopped cabbage and sauté it all until soft with salt and pepper on high heat.
2. Add in a splash of apple cider vinegar and mix everything together well.
3. Turn the heat to low and let the cabbage steam covered for about 3-5 minutes.

MAKE MARINATED JERK MUSHROOMS:

1. Mix together all of the ingredients for the Jerk Marinade in a medium bowl and set aside.
2. In a large pan sauté the sliced white onions in coconut oil until they are translucent and soft.
3. Add in the sliced portobello mushrooms to the sautéed onions and season them with salt and pepper to taste until they are soft and meaty.
4. Add the jerk marinade to the sautéed mushrooms and combine them well together. Cover the pan and let the mushrooms marinate and cook on medium low heat for 20-30 minutes.
5. Garnish with chopped fresh green onion.
