Ingredients:
1 medium whole cabbage
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup vegetable broth
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Prep the Cabbage: Cut out the core of the cabbage to allow the leaves to soak in all the flavorful goodness while keeping them intact.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Parmesan & Lemon: Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice for a burst of tangy flavor.
4. Set Up the Slow Cooker: Place the whole cabbage in your slow cooker. Drizzle the garlic-Parmesan-lemon butter mixture generously over the cabbage, ensuring it seeps into the layers.
5. Season & Add Broth: Sprinkle the cabbage with salt and black pepper. Pour the vegetable broth into the slow cooker around the cabbage for even cooking.
6. Cook Low & Slow: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the cabbage is tender and infused with rich, buttery flavors.
7. Serve with Style: Carefully transfer the cabbage to a serving plate, ensuring it stays intact.
8. Garnish & Enjoy: Top with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish and serve immediately.
