⏱️ Timestamps / instructions:
0:00 Cut the cabbage into wedges, in a small bowl, whisk up the oil mixture, brush the wedges and place them in a hot skillet over medium high heat with the oiled sides down, sear until browned about 5 minutes per side
3:20 In the same skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-low heat, add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook them slowly until deep golden, about 15 mins, stirring occasionally. ( reduce the heat if they brown too quickly. You can cook them until just translucent if you prefer)
4:20 Add garlic in the last two minutes of cooking onions and stir around for 2 mins, until fragrant
4:36 Deglaze the pan with Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, next add the cream cheese and stir until melted, for about a minute, and then pour in the chicken broth, add the seasonings and bring it to a gentle boil. In a small bowl mix corn starch and water and add it to the sauce, give it a stir and take it off the heat.
6:16 Sprinkle and melt Parmesan in the sauce, then place the cabbage wedges in the skillet, overlapping them if needed.
6:52 Bake in preheated oven at 350°F/ 175°C for 50 minutes, turning the wedges once halfway through baking.
6:59 Top with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and minced parsley. Enjoy! 😉
