Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 medium (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 0.25 cup (grated, optional for garnish) Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters, and remove the core. Thinly slice or shred the cabbage into strips.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Step 4
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to coat it in the butter and oil mixture.
Step 5
Cook the cabbage over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and starts to caramelize lightly.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate any caramelized bits.
Step 7
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine and allow the cabbage to simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes, or until it is tender and fully coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 9
If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish to complement any main course, such as roasted chicken or grilled meats.
