Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 head green cabbage sliced
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the cabbage into thin strips, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
  • Sauté the Cabbage and Onion: In a large skillet or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Toss in the cabbage and onion, sautéing for 6-8 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Once done, remove the mixture from the pan and set it aside.
  • Make the Roux: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, continuously stirring, until the mixture thickens into a roux.
  • Create the Creamy Sauce: Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Keep stirring and cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce reaches a thicker consistency. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Combine and Heat Through: Return the sautéed cabbage, onion, and garlic to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly in the sauce.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the creamed cabbage to a serving dish and enjoy as a side or a light main course.
