Ensure the braising liquid is not thickened with flour/cornstarch. Request minimal onion in the sauce. Confirm creamed cabbage is made with cream/butter and no starchy additions.
Watch out for
Braising liquid (flour thickeners, reduction with high-carb wines, excessive onion/root vegetables), creamed cabbage (potential for flour/sweetener, although less common).
