Key ingredients
Luganega sausage, Savoy cabbage, olive oil, garlic, white wine (optional, very small amount cooked off), salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no hidden sugars or high-carb fillers in the sausage (authentic Luganega is usually clean). Confirm cabbage is braised in oil/butter, not with high-carb additions.
Say this to the waiter (Italian)
Potrebbe confermare che la Luganega non abbia zuccheri o ripieni aggiunti? E che la verza sia cotta in olio/burro, senza aggiunte di carboidrati?
Please confirm the Luganega has no added sugars or fillers. And the cabbage is braised in oil or butter, without high-carb additions.
Watch out for
Sausage fillers (uncommon in authentic Luganega), small amounts of wine if not fully cooked off.
