Ingredients
- 1/8 head of cabbage
- Generous amount of olive oil
- Butter (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 slice of processed cheese (optional)
- Mozzarella cheese (optional)
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
- Parsley flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the cabbage by washing it thoroughly. Cut the cabbage into thick slices, about 1/8 of a head. Rinse the slices under running water several times to ensure they are clean. Gently pat them dry with paper towels or let them drain in a colander. For easier handling and to maintain shape, you can secure the slices with skewers before washing.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a generous amount of olive oil and a knob of butter. The butter adds a rich flavor, but feel free to omit it if you prefer a lighter dish or are following a vegan diet.
Step 3
Place the cabbage slices in the hot skillet. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook until golden brown and slightly tender, allowing the natural sweetness of the cabbage to caramelize.
Step 4
While the cabbage is cooking, add some finely chopped tomatoes to the side of the pan. Cook the tomatoes alongside the cabbage, allowing them to soften and release their juices.
Step 5
Flip the cabbage slices over. Once the other side is browned, place a slice of processed cheese on top of each cabbage steak. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top for an extra cheesy layer. Skip the cheese if you’re avoiding dairy or prefer a lighter topping.
Step 6
Spoon the cooked chopped tomatoes over the cheese-topped cabbage. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook on low heat for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted and gooey. The tomatoes will form a delicious sauce as they cook down.
Step 7
The cooked tomatoes act as a wonderful, natural sauce for your cabbage steak, enhancing the overall flavor without needing any additional condiments.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the cooked cabbage steak to a serving plate. Sprinkle with parsley flakes for a touch of color and fresh aroma.
Step 9
Consider serving your cabbage steak with complementary side dishes for a complete meal. In the example, it’s paired with grilled chicken, pickled plums, and sweet potato salad. For an elegant touch, drizzle some balsamic glaze onto the plate around the cabbage steak.
