Braised Cabbage

Meal: 64 cal Protein: 2 g Carbs: 8 g Fat: 3 g

Braised cabbage is sweet, tart, and hearty. Add in a little bit of bacon and it gives the cabbage a real umami quality. Normally, this dish is an add on to meat dish like braised corned beef. We’ve simulated that flavor using bacon crumbles and a small amount of the bacon fat to flavor the vegetables.
