How to make it keto
Ask for no fries or bread. Request a side of green vegetables (e.g., green beans, spinach, broccoli) or a simple side salad with oil and vinegar dressing. Inquire about the sauce: many are thickened with flour or contain added sugar. Ask for plain meat, sauce on the side, or a simple butter sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Varkenshaas zonder friet of brood. Graag groene groenten of een simpele side salad met olie en azijn. Kan het vlees naturel, of met een simpele botersaus?
Varkenshaas without fries or bread. I'd like green vegetables or a side salad with oil and vinegar. Can I have the meat plain, or with simple butter sauce?
