Civet de Canard Sauvage (Keto Modifié, sans Épaississant)
Wild Duck Stew (Keto Modified, without Thickener)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour (roux) or other starches are used to thicken the stew. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and savory stew made with tender wild duck pieces, often marinated in red wine, then slowly braised with mushrooms, onions, and lardons, adapted to be prepared without traditional flour thickeners.
Key ingredients
Wild duck, red wine (dry), lardons (smoked bacon), mushrooms (button, porcini), onions, garlic, duck or chicken broth, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), olive oil, salt, pepper, cauliflower purée or green beans.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour (roux) or other starches are used to thicken the stew. Request low-carb vegetables like cauliflower purée or green beans instead of potatoes or pasta. Ask to minimize carrots if present.
Watch out for
Traditionally thickened with flour. Carrots and pearl onions (often in civets) can add carbs; ask to minimize or omit these. Wine reduction has residual sugar.
