Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Confirm the restaurant specifically offers a keto-modified version. Inquire about the ingredients of the ragout and the crust to ensure keto compliance.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Zijn dit de koolhydraatarme Bitterballen? Kunt u bevestigen dat de ragout en korst keto-proof zijn?
Are these specifically the keto Bitterballen? Can you confirm the ingredients of the ragout and crust are keto-compliant?
Watch out for
Cross-contamination in shared fryers, hidden flours/starches in the ragout or crust, amount of almond flour/pork rinds used, carb content of any dipping sauce.
