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 until the butter is melted and bubbly. Carefully place cabbage wedges with the flat side down in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear the other side. Once done, set the cabbage wedges aside on a plate.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 chopped yellow onion to the same skillet. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Next, stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Sauté for an additional minute, letting the garlic become fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any tasty brown bits. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly. Slowly stir in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a handful of chopped parsley.
  4. Return the seared cabbage wedges back into the skillet, gently spooning the sauce over them. Partially cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for another 5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to absorb the flavors.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Garlic Parmesan Cabbage to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley.
