Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Shallots
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and slice it thinly into ribbons.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Peel and finely chop the shallots. Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir to coat the cabbage in the butter mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Cook the cabbage over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes or until it becomes tender and starts to caramelize slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, ensuring every piece of cabbage is coated in the cream.
Simmer the cabbage in the cream for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream thickens slightly and coats the cabbage.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to your preference.
Transfer the cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with the freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your Choux a La Creme Cabbage in Cream!
