Ingredients
  

For the Cabbage Base
  • 1 head Green Cabbage Substitute with Napa cabbage for a sweeter touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Use fresh garlic for a bolder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Kosher salt works just as well.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Opt for vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Nutritional yeast can replace it for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Ricotta serves as an alternate if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Dairy-free versions can use almond milk.
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Onion Freshly chopped onion enhances taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Chicken Bouillon Powder Use vegetarian bouillon for plant-based choice.
For the Garnish and Crunch
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Parsley Fresh parsley can brighten up the dish.
  • 1 cup Crushed Protein Pretzels or Panko Crushed nuts like walnuts can serve as an alternative.

Equipment

  • Large nonstick skillet
  • Blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large nonstick skillet, combine chopped green cabbage, garlic powder, sea salt, and chicken broth. Set the heat to medium and cover the skillet. Allow the cabbage to cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  2. While the cabbage cooks, prepare the creamy sauce. In a blender, mix together Parmesan cheese, cottage cheese, milk, dried onion, chicken bouillon powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until smooth.
  3. Once the cabbage is tender, carefully pour the creamy sauce over the cabbage in the skillet. Stir well to combine. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 4-6 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and crushed protein pretzels or panko.
