Keto Saksankiusaus (Kukkakaalipohjalla)
Keto German Casserole (Cauliflower Base)
Yes, with a tweak: potatoes are replaced entirely with cauliflower florets. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Finnish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting, creamy casserole traditionally made with minced meat and potatoes, here reimagined with a cauliflower base to be keto-friendly. Baked with cream, onions, and often a touch of cheese.
Key ingredients
Minced pork/beef, cauliflower florets, heavy cream, onions, butter, eggs, grated cheese (e.g., Emmental), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Potatoes are replaced entirely with cauliflower florets. Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce, and any bouillon or seasoning is sugar-free. Serve without traditional bread side.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Tässä kukkakaalia perunan sijaan. Varmistattehan, ettei kastikkeessa ole jauhoja/tärkkelystä ja liemi/mausteet ovat sokerittomia. Tarjoilkaa ilman leipää.
This should have cauliflower instead of potatoes. Please ensure no flour or starch in the sauce, and sugar-free bouillon/seasoning. Serve without bread.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in processed minced meat, bouillon cubes, or pre-shredded cheese. Onions contribute some carbs, but generally acceptable in moderation.
