A classic bistro dish featuring tender grilled calf's liver, often served with caramelized onions. Traditionally accompanied by mashed potatoes, it's easily adaptable to keto by requesting green vegetables.
Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Request no mashed potatoes or other high-carb side dishes. Ask for green vegetables (e.g., green asparagus, broccoli). Be aware that sautéed onions contribute natural sugars, so moderate portion sizes may be required for strict keto.

Graag zonder aardappelpuree of andere koolhydraatrijke bijgerechten. Kan ik er groene asperges of broccoli bij krijgen?
Please, no mashed potatoes or other high-carb sides. Could I have green asparagus or broccoli instead?
