Description
A simple, savory dish featuring tender, slow-cooked cabbage with bacon and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Place cabbage wedges cut-side down in the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the cabbage.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
- Remove the lid. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring gently until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle reserved bacon over the top before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth for a vegetarian option, omitting the bacon.
- Cook time may vary based on the thickness of your cabbage wedges.
