Pâté Chinois (Version Céto, Garniture de Purée de Chou-fleur)
Shepherd's Pie (Keto with Cauliflower Mash Topping)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no peas, corn, carrots (or minimal for flavour, not bulk) in the meat base. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Canadian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty base of seasoned ground beef or lamb mixed with savory vegetables (onions, mushrooms) in a rich gravy, traditionally topped with mashed potatoes. This keto version substitutes the topping with a creamy, cheesy cauliflower mash, baked until golden brown.
Key ingredients
Ground beef or lamb, onions, garlic, mushrooms, beef broth, tomato paste (minimal), fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary), cauliflower, heavy cream, butter, cheddar cheese.
How to make it keto
Confirm no peas, corn, carrots (or minimal for flavour, not bulk) in the meat base. Crucially, ensure the topping is 100% cauliflower mash (or celeriac) with cream/butter/cheese, not potatoes. Verify gravy is not thickened with flour.
Watch out for
Tomato paste can add sugar, ensure minimal usage. Onions and mushrooms contribute natural carbs. Peas and corn are common in traditional recipes.
