Description
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Cabbage elevates this humble vegetable into a low-carb comfort dish with rich flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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.)
- 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.)
- 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.)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.
- Once the onion is cooked, stir in the minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- 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.
- Stir in ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Continue to simmer the sauce until the cheese melts.
- 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.
- After 5 minutes, garnish your Creamy Garlic Parmesan Cabbage with extra parsley and serve warm.
