Marry Me Melting Cabbage

Ingredients

  • 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges with the core intact
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp chili oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped parsley, to garnish

Directions

  • Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges, slicing through the core so each wedge stays intact.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the cabbage wedges cut-side down for 2-3 mins per side until golden brown, working in batches if needed.
  • Transfer the seared wedges to a large (10×15) baking dish, arranging in a single layer.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallot and garlic and saute about 1 min until fragrant and softened.
  • Add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, chili oil, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2-3 mins.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Pour the sauce evenly over the cabbage wedges.
  • Bake for 50-60 mins until the cabbage is very tender and the top is golden brown.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan before serving.
