Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head green cabbage shredded but not too thin
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Mandoline slicer (optional)

Method
 

Prepare the Roux
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once fully melted, add the flour, whisking constantly until smooth. Cook the roux until it turns lightly golden—this removes any raw flour taste.
Add the Cream
  1. Gradually pour the milk into the roux, whisking steadily to prevent lumps. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens and becomes velvety.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Add the shredded cabbage into the skillet, stirring to coat every piece evenly with the cream sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer
  1. Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes. The cabbage should turn tender, and the sauce will develop its signature creamy texture. Serve hot and enjoy!
