How to make it keto
Request no rice or potatoes. Ask for a side of non-starchy vegetables like sautéed asparagus or green beans.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pas de riz, pommes de terre ou autres accompagnements féculents, s'il vous plaît. Puis-je avoir des asperges ou brocolis vapeur ? Le Beurre Blanc est-il sans farine ni sucre ajouté ?
No rice, potatoes, or starchy sides. Can I have steamed asparagus or broccoli? Please confirm the Beurre Blanc has no added flour or sugar.
Watch out for
Traditional starchy sides (rice, potatoes). White wine in the sauce contributes minimal carbs.
