Jauhelihakastike Kukkakaalimuusin Kera
Minced Meat Sauce with Cauliflower Mash
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the sauce is not thickened with flour or starch. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Finnish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic, savory Finnish minced meat sauce (typically beef or a mix of beef and pork) simmered with onions, broth, and a touch of cream. Served keto-style with creamy cauliflower mash instead of traditional potatoes or pasta.
Key ingredients
Minced beef/pork, onion, butter/oil, small amount of tomato paste, beef broth, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, paprika. Served with cauliflower for mash.
How to make it keto
Ensure the sauce is not thickened with flour or starch. Confirm minimal to no sugar in tomato paste. Replace pasta or potatoes with cauliflower mash or cauliflower rice.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Varmistatteko, ettei kastiketta ole suurustettu jauholla ja että tomaattipastassa on mahdollisimman vähän sokeria? Saanko tämän kukkakaalimuusin tai kukkakaaririisin kera, ilman pastaa tai perunoita.
Please confirm the sauce is not flour-thickened and has minimal sugar in the tomato paste. I'd like this with cauliflower mash or cauliflower rice, no pasta or potatoes.
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners in sauce, sugary tomato paste, traditional high-carb sides (pasta, potatoes, rice).
