Vispannetje met Roomsaus en Keto-Groenten
Creamy Seafood Gratin with Keto Vegetables (no potato topping)
Yes, with a tweak: request no mashed potato topping. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting seafood casserole featuring white fish (like cod or sole), shrimp, and sometimes mussels, baked in a rich, creamy sauce. Traditionally topped with mashed potatoes, which must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
White fish fillets (cod, sole), shrimp, sometimes mussels, heavy cream, butter, leeks, mushrooms, white wine (minimal), fish broth, cheese (e.g., Gruyère, Parmesan), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no mashed potato topping. Ensure the creamy sauce is thickened with cream and reduction, not flour or starch. Ask for it to be served with steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables (e.g., spinach, green beans) instead of potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
