5. Add salt and black pepper to the cabbage.
6. Place the cabbage in the slow cooker and pour in the vegetable broth.
7. Once the cabbage is soft and flavored throughout, cover and simmer on low for 6-8 hours.

THE ADVERTISEMENT Some Changes and Hints
You can choose to add some smoked paprika to the cabbage before you cook it for a more complex taste. A dash of crushed red pepper flakes might provide a little spice if you’re a fan of spicy food. To make it vegan, you may use olive oil or another plant-based butter replacement in place of the butter, and nutritional yeast can be used in place of Parmesan cheese. For those who like their cabbage with a little crunch, sprinkle some toasted breadcrumbs on top just before serving.
