Hirschgulasch (ohne Beilagen)
Venison Goulash (without sides)
Yes, with a tweak: refuse any bread dumplings, noodles, or potatoes. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Austrian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and flavorful stew made with tender venison (deer meat), slow-cooked with onions, paprika, and various aromatic spices, resulting in a deep, savory gravy.
Key ingredients
Venison, onion, paprika powder, caraway seeds, garlic, small amount of tomato paste, red wine (optional, minimal), beef broth, lard/oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, refuse any bread dumplings, noodles, or potatoes. Request a side of green salad (oil & vinegar dressing) or steamed low-carb vegetables. Inquire about thickeners, asking for no flour or starch.
