Gegrilde Paling met Keto Bijgerechten
Grilled Eel with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no fries, no bread, or other high-carb accompaniments. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Belgian dishes.
What it is
Fresh eel, a delicacy often found along the Belgian coast, grilled to perfection and typically served simply with lemon and butter. This keto-modified version focuses on the flavorful eel, accompanied by low-carb vegetables instead of traditional fries or bread.
Key ingredients
Eel, olive oil or butter, lemon, green beans, asparagus, seasoning (salt, pepper).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no fries, no bread, or other high-carb accompaniments. Ask for steamed or sautéed green vegetables (e.g., green beans, asparagus, spinach) prepared with butter or olive oil. Confirm no sugary marinades are used in grilling.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Graag geen frietjes, brood of koolhydraatrijke bijgerechten. Ik wil gestoomde groene groenten met boter of olijfolie. Geen suikerhoudende marinade.
No fries, bread, or high-carb sides, please. I'd like steamed green vegetables with butter or olive oil. No sugary marinade, please.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades (unlikely for simple grilled eel but always a risk), high-carb side vegetables if not specified (e.g., carrots, peas), bread or fries served by default.
