Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups, toasted and roughly chopped Walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cabbage. Remove the outer leaves and cut the cabbage into quarters. Remove the core, then slice the cabbage thinly into shreds.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the shredded cabbage and blanch for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened. Drain the cabbage and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the butter mixture, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the cream sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Stir the blanched cabbage into the cream sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 9

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Transfer the creamed cabbage to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
