Cabbage E Pepe

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1 leek, tough outer leaves removed, sliced thinly into half-moons, and rinsed thoroughly
• 8 cups (packed) thinly shredded Savoy cabbage (620 grams)
• Salt, to taste
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 cup finely grated Parmesan, divided
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, plus more to taste

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high. When it's bubbling, add the sliced leeks and season with salt. Add 1 1/2 tablespoon of water, stir everything around, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the leeks are soft and melty. It's okay if they're browning a bit, too.
2. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the cabbage. Season with salt and stir so that the cabbage is coated. Add another 1 1/2 tablespoons of water, then cover the pot. Cook the cabbage, stirring occasionally, until it's glistening, soft, and significantly reduced. This will takes 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Squeeze 1/2 lemon over top of the vegetables and add 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and the black pepper. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.
4. Top with the remaining Parmesan before serving. Add more black pepper if you'd like, too.
