Konijn met Keto-Aangepaste Saus en Groenten
Rabbit Stew with Keto Vegetables (no prunes or thickened sauce)
Yes, with a tweak: request minimal or no prunes, no flour or cornstarch used to thicken the sauce. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic Belgian rabbit stew, traditionally braised with prunes and often beer, resulting in a rich, deeply flavored sauce. This keto-adapted version focuses on tender rabbit meat in a savory, unthickened sauce with low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Rabbit meat (e.g., leg or saddle), cooking fat (butter/oil), onions, celery, mushrooms, leeks, chicken or beef broth, splash of dark beer (optional, minimal), herbs (thyme, bay leaf), heavy cream (for finishing sauce), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request minimal or no prunes, no flour or cornstarch used to thicken the sauce. Ensure any beer used is minimal for flavor and cooked down. Ask for it to be served with sautéed low-carb vegetables like celeriac puree, green beans, or Brussels sprouts instead of potatoes or bread.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Bij de Konijn: graag minimaal of geen pruimen. Serveer met knolselderijpuree, sperziebonen of spruitjes, in plaats van aardappelen of brood.
For Konijn: minimal/no prunes. Serve with celeriac puree, green beans, or Brussels sprouts instead of potatoes or bread.
