Description
Herby Cabbage in Parmesan Broth is a delightful dish that combines simplicity, flavor, and health benefits—all in one pot!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium green cabbage, cored and cut into 8 wedges
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Extra chopped fresh herbs for garnish
- Extra grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Begin by melting the unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbly and hot, add the thinly sliced yellow onion. Sauté the onions for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to become soft and translucent.
- Once the onions and garlic are aromatic, it’s time to add the cabbage wedges. Carefully arrange the wedges in the pot, ensuring they’re somewhat submerged in the mixture. Next, pour in the vegetable broth and toss in the bay leaf, thyme, and freshly ground black pepper. Bringing this mixture to a gentle simmer is essential for enhancing the flavors. After it simmers, cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
- After the cabbage has simmered and tenderized, carefully remove the lid. Now it’s time for the pièce de résistance—stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the broth to simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes. As the cheese melts, it will create a wonderfully creamy texture, enhancing the dish significantly.
Notes
For richer flavor, consider roasting the cabbage wedges before adding them to the broth. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
