How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary glazes or sauces are used in the braising liquid. Request that carb-heavy sides like potatoes, traditional root vegetable purees, or sugary apple preparations are replaced with low-carb options such as cauliflower puree, steamed green beans, sautéed spinach, or braised white cabbage.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Geen suikerglazuur of -saus, alstublieft. Vervang koolhydraatrijke bijgerechten (aardappelen, appel) door koolhydraatarme groenten, zoals bloemkoolpuree of sperziebonen.
No sugary glazes or sauces, please. For sides, replace potatoes or apple with low-carb vegetables like cauliflower puree or green beans.
Watch out for
Potential sugary glazes in the braising liquid, traditional high-carb vegetable sides (potatoes, carrots), thickening agents (flour/starch) in the sauce.
