Keto Brunkål med Flæsk
Keto Brown Cabbage with Pork Belly

What it is
A hearty and classic Danish stew of braised brown cabbage and tender pork belly, reimagined for keto by omitting the traditional sugar caramelization and potatoes, focusing on the savory, rich flavors.
Key ingredients
White cabbage, thick-cut pork belly (flæsk), butter or lard, beef broth, salt, black pepper, optionally a small amount of erythritol for color if browning.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no sugar is added for caramelizing the cabbage (or use a keto sweetener minimally) and no potatoes are included. Confirm the use of low-carb broth without hidden sugars. The cabbage should be slowly braised until very tender.
