Carbonnade d'Agneau à la Flamande (Keto-Aangepast)
Flemish Lamb Stew with Dark Beer and Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour is used to thicken the sauce; instead, reduce it naturally. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty Flemish stew, typically made with lamb, slow-cooked in a rich, dark Belgian beer sauce with onions and herbs. Modified for keto by omitting traditional flour thickeners and served with low-carb vegetable accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Lamb stew meat, dark Belgian beer (e.g., Dubbel or Tripel), onions, garlic, beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, mustard (Dijon), olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, braised savoy cabbage or green beans.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour is used to thicken the sauce; instead, reduce it naturally. Confirm no sugar is added to the sauce. Serve with generous portions of keto-friendly vegetables instead of bread or potatoes. Request extra fat if desired.
Watch out for
Flour thickeners in the sauce, hidden sugars from beer (though minimal in dark, dry beers), added sugars in the sauce, starchy side dishes.
