To burn it off
Braised red cabbage is the purple heap next to the goose on St Martin's Day and at Christmas: Rotkohl in Germany, rødkål in Denmark, červené zelí in Czechia. In the UK it turns up with the turkey and in every pub doing a winter roast.
A portion is about 110 kcal, with 18 g of carbs, 2 g of protein and 4 g of fat. The cabbage itself is light; the calories come from the sugar, the apple and the knob of butter or goose fat it is cooked with.
It is the lightest thing on a goose dinner plate by a long way. Goose is 400 a portion and two potato dumplings 260, so the cabbage is the part you can go back for.
Tips
- 1Pile it high and take a bit less of the meat and dumplings. It fills the plate for little.
- 2Cooking it yourself? Go easy on the sugar and let the apple and vinegar do the work.
