What it is

A comforting, creamy sauce made from pan-fried liver (typically beef or pork), often seasoned with caramelized onions and allspice. Traditionally served with mashed potatoes, but can be made keto with low-carb sides.

Key ingredients

Beef liver (or pork liver), heavy cream, butter, onions (minimal), beef broth, salt, black pepper, allspice, low-carb vegetables (e.g., cauliflower mash, green beans).

How to make it keto

Ask for no potatoes or other high-carb side dishes. Ensure the sauce is thickened solely with cream reduction, not flour or starch. Request a side of green vegetables or cauliflower mash.

Say this to the waiter (Finnish)

Saanko tämän ilman perunoita tai muita korkeahiilihydraattisia lisukkeita? Varmistatteko, että kastike on suurustettu vain kermalla, ei jauhoilla? Lisukkeeksi vihreitä kasviksia tai kukkakaalimuusia.

Please serve this without potatoes or high-carb sides. Confirm the sauce is thickened only with cream, no flour. I'd like green vegetables or cauliflower mash.

Watch out for

Flour/starch thickeners in the sauce, sugar from excessively caramelized onions, high-carb traditional side dishes.
