Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter is fully melted and bubbling, add the cabbage wedges, flat-side down. Sear them for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the wedges and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they're tender but still retain a slight crunch. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and add one chopped yellow onion to the same skillet. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it becomes soft and translucent. Next, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly. Afterward, stir in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a handful of chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Continue simmering for an additional minute until the cheese melts completely into a creamy sauce. Return the seared cabbage wedges to the skillet, carefully spoons the creamy sauce over them.
  5. Partially cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for another 5 minutes. Once the Garlic Parmesan Cabbage is fully cooked, remove it from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
