How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the marinade. Use a simple oil and vinegar base. Served with keto-friendly crispbread or fresh cucumber slices, not traditional rye bread.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Ei sokeria muikkujen marinadiin, kiitos. Vain yksinkertainen öljy-etikkapohja. Tarjoilkaa keto-näkkileivän tai tuoreiden kurkkusiivujen kanssa, ei ruisleipää.
No sugar in the marinade for the muikut, please. A simple oil and vinegar base. Serve with keto crispbread or cucumber slices, not rye bread.
Watch out for
Sugar in commercial marinades. Red onion contains some carbs. Non-keto serving accompaniments.
