Ingredients
  

For the Cabbage
  • 2 lbs Cabbage Medium head, about 2 lbs.
  • 0.5 cup Heavy Cream Substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free option.
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated.
For Sautéing
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness and aids in browning.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Enhances flavor and aids in cooking.
  • 1 small Yellow Onion Finely chopped; provides sweetness and depth.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced; an essential flavor component.
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning Adds a hint of spice; adjust to taste.
  • Salt and Pepper To taste, essential for enhancing all flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley Chopped, for garnish and added freshness.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, letting them melt and combine until they’re bubbling.
  2. Carefully add the cabbage wedges, placing them flat side down in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the edges are golden brown and caramelized.
  3. In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.
  4. Once the onion is cooked, stir in the minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix in all the flavorful bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Continue to simmer the sauce until the cheese melts.
  7. Gently place the seared cabbage wedges back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
  8. After 5 minutes, garnish your Creamy Garlic Parmesan Cabbage with extra parsley and serve warm.
