Veal Stew in Cream Sauce with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no flour in the sauce (ensure it's reduced or thickened with xanthan gum if necessary). About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A classic Belgian (and French) stew featuring tender chunks of veal cooked in a rich, creamy white sauce, traditionally with mushrooms and pearl onions. Modified for keto by ensuring no flour is used as a thickener and served with keto-friendly vegetables.
Key ingredients
Veal stew meat, mushrooms, heavy cream, butter, veal broth, lemon juice, small amount of diced celery/leek, herbs (parsley, thyme), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no flour in the sauce (ensure it's reduced or thickened with xanthan gum if necessary). Ask for no rice, potatoes, or bread. Request a side of steamed green vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, spinach) or cauliflower mash instead.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Graag de saus zonder bloem. Geen rijst, aardappelen of brood, alstublieft. Kan ik er gestoomde groene groenten of bloemkoolpuree bij krijgen?
Please make the sauce without flour. No rice, potatoes, or bread, thank you. I'd like steamed green vegetables or cauliflower mash instead.
Watch out for
Flour used as a roux/thickener for the sauce, excessive pearl onions or carrots in the mirepoix, hidden sugars in commercial broths, non-keto side dishes (rice, potatoes).
