Ingredients
-
1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
-
5–6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
-
1 medium onion, chopped (optional)
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
3–4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
-
½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
-
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Fill the slow cooker: Place the chopped cabbage and potatoes into the slow cooker. Add the onion and minced garlic, spreading everything evenly.
3. Prepare the butter mixture: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, thyme, and broth.
4. Combine everything: Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the cabbage and potatoes. Toss gently with a spoon so the vegetables are coated evenly.
5. Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cabbage is soft. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker and the size of the potato pieces.
6. Stir and check: Gently stir the vegetables during the final 30 minutes if convenient. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. Spoon some of the buttery cooking juices over each portion for extra flavor.
