Had some cabbage and some heavy cream that I needed to use up. What the heck. It was delicious of course as all creamed vegetables are. Only used 1/2 cup cream - it was plenty. Would double the nutmeg next time.
I made a roasted onion purée and added it to the sautéed cabbage. I added white wine too (what the heck?).Then I added the cream and spices… it needed something so I added a diced apple, a la rotkohl. It was good. But I think of this recipe as a jumping off point, next time I might skip the apple and add garam masala.
This recipe was a bit bland as written. Maybe it needed more nutmeg? I ended up adding a pinch of parmesan and gruyere. But I still thought it was only o-kay, even after that.
What a delicious, simple recipe! Really transforms cabbage into a lovely side dish. I added a large chopped shallot as well and cooked that with the garlic and cabbage. As it got a bit dry, I also added about 1/4 cup chicken broth to the pan. A few gratings of lemon zest and a small squeeze of the juice helped cut the richness. I finished with a sprinkle of parsley and a final grating of nutmeg on top, one on the plate. I served this aside a roasted, herb-coated pork loin.
