Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then quarter it and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.
Rinse the celery stalks and cut them into thin slices on a diagonal.
Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sautΓ© for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the Creole seasoning and smoked paprika, cooking for another 30 seconds to release the spices' aromas.
Add the sliced celery and shredded cabbage to the skillet, tossing to coat the vegetables evenly in the spices.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper, then cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well melded.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional Creole seasoning, salt, or pepper, if needed.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked rice for a hearty vegetarian main.
