Uunimakkara Juustolla ja Keto-Lisukkeilla
Oven-Baked Sausage with Cheese and Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: verify the sausage contains minimal fillers (starches, sugars). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Finnish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A popular Finnish comfort dish featuring a large sausage (often smoked pork) split lengthwise, filled generously with cheese (e.g., Emmental), and oven-baked until golden. Served with low-carb sides.
Key ingredients
High-quality, low-carb sausage (e.g., pork or beef), Emmental or similar cheese, onion (optional), cooking oil/butter, often served with pickled gherkins or green salad.
How to make it keto
Verify the sausage contains minimal fillers (starches, sugars). Omit sugary ketchup, mustard, or high-carb potato salad. Request pickled gherkins or a green salad as a side.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Varmistatteko, että makkara on vähähiilihydraattista ilman turhia täyteaineita? Ei sokerista ketsuppia, sinappia tai perunasalaattia. Saanko lisukkeeksi suolakurkkuja tai vihreää salaattia.
Please confirm the sausage is low-carb, minimal fillers. No sugary ketchup, mustard, or potato salad. I'd like pickled gherkins or a green salad as a side.
Watch out for
Starches or sugars in sausage fillers, sugary ketchup/mustard, high-carb side salads (e.g., potato salad, coleslaw).
