I heard this dish mentioned somewhere but I can't remember where. It was most likely on one of the food podcasts I listen to, but to be honest, I don't know. Anway, wherever I heard it, they did not discuss the dish except that it's basically like creamed spinach only with cabbage. The name stuck with me and I decided to come up with my own version. I'm sure there are plenty of recipes out there for creamed cabbage, but since I'd made creamed spinach plenty of times I had the confidence to try this on my own. And I was very happy with the results and I hope that you enjoy it!
Creamed Cabbage
1 medium head of cabbage, chopped or shredded
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp butter
8 oz cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream or half & half
salt & pepper
Shredded parmesan
Cook cabbage and onion over medium high heat in butter until soft.* Reduce heat to medium and add cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted. Add cream, salt and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through. Transfer to serving dish and top with shredded parmesan.
*Cook the cabbage to your desired consistency. I tend to like mine on the softer side, so I cook it longer than some people might.
