Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage (900–1100 g)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup finely diced red onion
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (julienned)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp dried rosemary leaves
  • 1 tsp table salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges while keeping the core intact.
  3. In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear each cabbage wedge for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Sauté onion for about 2 to 3 minutes until softened, then add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and scrape up browned bits.
  6. Whisk in cream cheese until smooth, then stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes; simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Incorporate grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  8. Nestle seared cabbage back into the skillet and spoon sauce over each wedge.
  9. Cover with foil or a lid and bake for about 45 minutes.
  10. Uncover and baste with remaining sauce; bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender.
  11. Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving; garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
