Ingredients

  • 1 head (900-1100 g) green cabbage (cut into 8 wedges with core intact)
  • 3 tbsps (45 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tbsps (28 g) butter
  • ½ cup (75 g) finely diced red onion
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 4 oz. (113 g) full-fat cream cheese (softened and cubed)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (60 g) sun-dried tomatoes in oil (julienned)
  • 1 tsp (1 g) dried oregano leaves
  • 1 tsp (1 g) dried thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp (0.5 g) dried rosemary leaves
  • 1 tsp (6 g) table salt
  • ½ tsp (1 g) black pepper
  • 1 tsp (1 g) red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup (45 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • extra Parmesan for serving (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut: Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges, keeping the core intact on each wedge.
  3. Heat: Heat olive oil in a 12-inch (30 cm) oven-safe cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cabbage wedges 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden. Work in batches if needed. Transfer seared wedges to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Reduce: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and cook red onion for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour: Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
  6. Add: Add cream cheese and whisk until melted and smooth.
  7. Stir: Stir in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, rosemary, more salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to slightly thicken. Remove from heat.
  8. Stir: Stir in Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
  9. Nestle: Nestle the cabbage wedges back into the skillet, spooning sauce over the tops.
  10. Cover: Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 45 minutes.
  11. Uncover: Uncover, baste the cabbage with the sauce, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender.
  12. Rest: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.

Notes

  • Red pepper flakes are optional for a spicier kick.
  • Use a 12-inch oven-safe cast iron skillet to sear and bake for even cooking.
