Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by removing the outer leaves from your medium head of green cabbage. Cut it into wedges and rinse them under cold water to keep everything fresh.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Introduce the cabbage wedges to the pot, stirring to coat them in the garlic-infused oil. Cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage slightly softens and begins to glisten.
  4. Add the low-sodium vegetable broth to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, bringing the mix to a gentle simmer, which should take just a few minutes.
  5. Stir in the chopped fresh thyme and parsley. Allow everything to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender yet still has a slight crunch.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the cabbage. Stir until the cheese melts and blends beautifully into the rich broth.
