Yield: serves 6

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
  • 9 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1 1/2 small heads)
  • 2 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tsp. sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3⁄4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 3⁄4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 3⁄4 cup panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 3-qt. round or oval baking dish with 1 tbsp. butter; add cabbage and set aside.
  2. Combine cream, paprika, sugar, and salt and pepper in a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until mixture just begins to simmer. Pour cream mixture over cabbage and stir to combine.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss together Parmesan, walnuts, and bread crumbs; sprinkle evenly over cabbage and dot top with remaining butter.
