Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small head of green cabbage, cut into 2 thick steaks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 225 g (8 oz) mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 240 ml (1 cup) oat cream
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) water, plus more as needed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp vegan parmesan
- 2 tbsp chili crisp
- Extra vegan parmesan (to serve)
- Extra chili crisp (to serve)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (to serve)
Instructions
- Sear the cabbage: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season both sides of the cabbage steaks with salt and pepper. Sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they get a nice golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Caramelize the onions and mushrooms: In that same pan, add more olive oil and vegan butter. Toss in the sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking for about 10-12 minutes until they soften and caramelize. Stir in the minced garlic for the last minute of cooking.
- Prepare the creamy sauce: Pour in the oat cream and water. Add salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili crisp. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let it thicken slightly.
- Cook the cabbage steaks: Place the seared cabbage steaks back in the pan and cover it. Let them cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or if you prefer, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Serve: Serve the cabbage steaks topped with your creamy sauce, extra vegan parmesan, a drizzle of chili crisp, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Notes
Consider adding crushed red pepper flakes or fresh herbs for extra flavor. Using pre-sliced mushrooms can save time.
