Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut the cabbage into quarters. Remove the core and slice the cabbage into thin strips.
Peel and finely chop the shallots. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and stir to coat with the butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to soften and lightly caramelize.
Pour in the white wine and vegetable broth. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the cabbage is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian main.
