Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Whole Cabbage with Lemon Butter
This Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Whole Cabbage is melt-in-your-mouth tender and bursting with flavor. Infused with garlic, lemon, butter, and Parmesan, it’s a simple yet elegant side dish that practically cooks itself. Perfect for holidays or hearty weeknight dinners.
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
Instructions
- Start by cutting out the core of the cabbage so that the leaves stay intact but can easily absorb flavors.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Place the whole cabbage in your slow cooker. Pour the garlic-parmesan-lemon butter mixture evenly over the cabbage, making sure to get some in between the leaves.
- Sprinkle the cabbage with salt and black pepper.
- Pour the vegetable broth into the slow cooker around the cabbage.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or until the cabbage is tender and infused with all the flavors.
- Carefully remove the cabbage from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving plate.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
This dish pairs beautifully with roast chicken, pork chops, or grilled sausages. If you'd like a bit of heat, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes when making the butter mixture.
