Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet, combine 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt and bubble, about 1 minute.
  2. Carefully place the cabbage wedges flat side down in the skillet and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until they develop a golden-brown color. Flip and repeat on the other side.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add 1 chopped yellow onion, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until soft and golden brown.
  4. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, thickening slightly.
  6. Add 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley to the sauce, stirring until smooth. Return cabbage to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top.
  7. Partially cover the skillet and let it cook for another 5 minutes until cabbage is fork-tender.
  8. Serve and enjoy, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
