What it is
A popular seasonal dish featuring tender steamed green or white asparagus spears, generously topped with a rich, creamy, and tangy Hollandaise sauce. Typically served with boiled potatoes or ham, modified to omit potatoes.
Key ingredients
Green or white asparagus, butter, egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, white pepper. (Optional: side of boiled or pan-fried ham/prosciutto for added protein).
How to make it keto
Ensure the Hollandaise sauce is traditionally prepared without any flour or starch thickeners (authentic Hollandaise is naturally keto). Crucially, request the dish without the customary boiled potatoes. Adding a side of ham or prosciutto can enhance the meal's protein and fat content.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte die Sauce Hollandaise traditionell, ohne Mehl oder Stärke zubereiten. Und den Spargel bitte ohne Salzkartoffeln servieren.
Please ensure the Sauce Hollandaise is made traditionally, without flour or starch. I'd like the Spargel without the boiled potatoes, please.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a traditional accompaniment and must be omitted. Less authentic Hollandaise sauces might contain thickeners, though this is rare for proper preparation.
