Libamell Sült (Cukormentes Káposztával)
Roasted Goose Breast (with Sugar-Free Braised Cabbage)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the braised cabbage is prepared without sugar or high-carb fruits (e.g., apples). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Hungarian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Crispy-skinned, succulent roasted goose breast, a prized delicacy in Hungarian cuisine. It's often served with braised cabbage, which for a keto diet, must be prepared without any added sugar or fruit (like apples) that are sometimes included in traditional recipes.
Key ingredients
Goose breast with skin, red or white cabbage, rendered goose fat or lard, onion, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, vinegar (for cabbage).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the braised cabbage is prepared without sugar or high-carb fruits (e.g., apples). Confirm no starchy side dishes (potatoes, dumplings) are served. Request extra cabbage if desired.
