Jambon au Madère met Keto Groenten
Ham with Madeira Sauce and Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the Madeira sauce is thickened with cream or a keto-friendly thickener (e.g., xanthan gum) instead of flour. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Thick slices of slow-cooked ham (often Ardennes ham) served with a rich Madeira wine sauce, now adapted with a keto-friendly thickening agent and accompanied by low-carb green vegetables instead of traditional potato sides.
Key ingredients
Ardennes ham, Madeira wine, beef broth, heavy cream, butter, shallots, garlic, green beans, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure the Madeira sauce is thickened with cream or a keto-friendly thickener (e.g., xanthan gum) instead of flour. Confirm no added sugar in the sauce. Request green vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, spinach) instead of potatoes or bread.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in Madeira sauce, flour as a sauce thickener, high-carb vegetables if not specified, glaze on ham.
