Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges, slicing through the core so each wedge stays intact and doesn’t fall apart.
    1 medium green cabbage
  • Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the cabbage wedges cut-side down and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Cook in batches if needed.
    2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Transfer the seared cabbage wedges to a large baking dish (I used a 10x15 dish), arranging them in a single layer.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced shallot and garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and softened.
    2 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 shallot, 5 cloves garlic
  • Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and stir until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, chili oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, about 2-3 mins.
    1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 2 cups heavy cream, ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoon chili oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ¾ teaspoon salt, Freshly ground black pepper
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the sauce evenly over the cabbage wedges.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until the cabbage is very tender and the top is golden brown.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan before serving.
    Chopped parsley

Notes

An earlier version of my recipe included mayo in the recipe. If you want to use mayo in the recipe then:
  • Remove ½ cup of heavy cream
  • Add ½ cup of mayo
