How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the stew. Request with low-carb vegetables (e.g., celeriac chunks, turnip, green beans, cabbage) and explicitly no potatoes or carrots. Check for hidden sugars in the broth base.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Varmistatteko, ettei Lammaspadassa ole jauhoja tai tärkkelystä? Lisukkeeksi vähähiilihydraattisia kasviksia, kuten selleriä tai vihreitä papuja, mutta ei perunoita tai porkkanoita. Onko liemessä sokeria?
Please ensure the Lammaspata has no flour or starch thickeners. I'd like it with low-carb vegetables like celeriac or green beans, but no potatoes or carrots. Any hidden sugars in the broth?
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners, high-carb vegetables (potatoes, carrots), hidden sugars in broth or seasoning mixes, sweet jellies often served with lamb.
