Seared & Braised Creamy Cajun Cabbage

Seared & Braised Dreamy Cajun Cabbage

1 small head of cabbage, cut in half, sliced in one inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil for searing, (I used caraflex cabbage)
a small yellow onion, chopped fine
5 garlic cloves, chopped fine
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon all purpose seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley as garnish
lemon slices (optional)

OR
(substitute for seasonings)

1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley as garnish
lemon slices (optional)

In a hot frying pan with olive oil sear sliced cabbage pieces till browned on both sides then set aside. Add butter and onions and saute till soft, then add garlic and saute one more minute. Slowly add heavy whipping cream and all the spices and herbs except garnishes. Cook till just starting to thicken. Add sliced cabbage pieces back into the pan, cover and cook till soft. Serve with some crusty bread. Top with lemon slices and parsley garnish. A side salad would compliment the rich cabbage dish.  Cabbage never tasted so good, yummy and rich.
