Kalbsvögerl
Braised Veal Roulade (with keto filling and sauce)

What it is
Tender veal cutlets rolled around a savory filling, typically including bacon and gherkins, then slowly braised in a rich pan sauce. This keto version ensures a low-carb filling and a naturally thickened sauce.
Key ingredients
Veal cutlets (thinly sliced), bacon, gherkins (pickles), mustard, onions, beef broth, white wine (optional), butter/oil, salt, pepper, fresh herbs.
How to make it keto
Confirm the filling is keto-friendly (bacon, gherkins, mustard are fine). Ensure the braising sauce is not thickened with flour or other starches; request a natural reduction. Serve with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., steamed broccoli, sautéed mushrooms, green salad) instead of noodles or potatoes.
