Jänispaisti (Keto-Modified)
Rabbit Roast with Keto Sides

What it is
A traditional game dish of slow-roasted rabbit, known for its tender meat and rich flavor. Prepared keto-friendly by avoiding sugary glazes and starchy accompaniments, focusing on the natural taste of the rabbit.
Key ingredients
Whole rabbit or rabbit pieces, butter/oil, onion, garlic, herbs (rosemary, thyme), chicken/game broth, salt, pepper, low-carb vegetables (e.g., Brussels sprouts, cauliflower puree).
How to make it keto
Request no carb-heavy sides (like potatoes, potato gratin, or starchy root vegetable purees). Ensure no sugary glazes (e.g., lingonberry-based) or fruit compotes are used. Opt for green vegetables or mashed cauliflower as sides.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Saisinko Jänispaistin ilman hiilihydraattipitoisia lisukkeita, sokerikuorrutusta tai hedelmäkompotteja? Lisukkeeksi vihreitä kasviksia tai kukkakaalimuusia.
I'd like the Jänispaisti without carb-heavy sides, sugary glazes, or fruit compotes. Please serve with green vegetables or mashed cauliflower.
Watch out for
Starchy potato or root vegetable sides, sugary glazes or sauces (e.g., cranberry or lingonberry jam), fruit-based accompaniments, flour in pan gravy.
