Pork Osso Buco with Keto Sides (No Risotto)
Braised Pork Shank with Gremolata and Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request keto-friendly sides instead of polenta or risotto. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for American food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Hearty pork shanks, slow-braised to tenderness in a savory liquid with vegetables, often finished with a zesty gremolata. Served with keto-friendly vegetables instead of risotto.
Key ingredients
Pork shank, white wine, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (small amount), onion, celery, garlic, herbs, olive oil, gremolata (lemon zest, parsley, garlic), keto-friendly side (e.g., creamed spinach).
How to make it keto
Request keto-friendly sides instead of polenta or risotto. Ensure braising liquid is not thickened with flour. Limit carrots/onions/tomatoes to aromatic purposes, not as significant bulk.
Watch out for
Risotto or polenta as sides, flour in braising liquid, too many high-carb vegetables in the braise.
