Boudin Noir Sautéed avec Échalotes et Champignons
Black Pudding with Sautéed Shallots and Mushrooms
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no apples. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
French black pudding (blood sausage) pan-fried until crispy, traditionally served with sautéed apples. This keto version replaces the high-carb apples with savory sautéed shallots and mushrooms, cooked in butter.
Key ingredients
Boudin noir (blood sausage), butter, shallots, mushrooms, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no apples. Ask for sautéed keto-friendly vegetables like shallots and mushrooms instead. Confirm the boudin noir itself does not contain significant high-carb fillers (authentic French boudin noir typically has minimal fillers).
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pas de pommes avec le Boudin Noir, s'il vous plaît. Plus d'échalotes et de champignons poêlés ? Et confirmez que le boudin noir est sans garniture riche en glucides.
No apples with the Boudin Noir, please. Can I have extra sautéed shallots and mushrooms? And please confirm no high-carb fillers in the boudin noir.
Watch out for
Traditional apples are high carb. Shallots and mushrooms contribute some carbs, but generally manageable in a typical portion.
