2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the cabbage through the core into 8 equal wedges, keeping the core intact on each wedge so the leaves hold together during braising.
2
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Add the cabbage wedges cut-side down in a single layer and sear, undisturbed, for 3 to 4 minutes until the cut face is deep golden brown. Flip to the second cut side and sear for another 3 minutes until similarly browned. Transfer the seared wedges to a plate.
