To burn it off
Bigos is the Polish hunter's stew: sauerkraut and fresh cabbage cooked for hours with pork, kiełbasa, dried mushrooms and often prunes. Families keep a pot going for days, and it gets better each time it is reheated.
A bowl is 400 kcal, with 22 g of protein, 15 g of carbs and 28 g of fat. The cabbage is light, the sausage and fatty pork are where the number comes from.
It is low in carbs for a stew. The bread or potatoes you eat with it are not.
Tips
- 1Use more cabbage and less sausage.
- 2Pick a leaner cut of pork and trim it.
- 3Have one slice of rye bread with it, not the loaf.
