Confit de Canard (avec légumes faibles en glucides)
Duck Confit with Low-Carb Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request omission of traditional potato sides (e.g., pommes sarladaises, frites). About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 French dishes.
What it is
A classic French dish featuring a duck leg slow-cooked and preserved in its own fat until tender, then pan-fried to achieve crispy skin. Typically served with a side of low-carb green vegetables instead of potatoes.
Key ingredients
Duck leg, duck fat, salt, garlic, thyme, black pepper, green beans/asparagus, butter.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request omission of traditional potato sides (e.g., pommes sarladaises, frites). Ask for extra green vegetables like asparagus or green beans instead, prepared simply with butter or olive oil. Confirm no sugary glazes are used.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Confit de Canard, pas de pommes de terre s'il vous plaît. Pourrais-je avoir des légumes verts supplémentaires, comme des asperges ou haricots verts, juste au beurre ou à l'huile? Et pas de glaçage sucré, merci.
For the Confit de Canard, please no potatoes. Could I have extra green vegetables like asparagus or green beans instead, simply with butter or oil? And no sugary glaze, please.
Watch out for
The duck itself is naturally keto. The only carb risk is if the restaurant serves it with traditional high-carb potato sides or uses a sugary glaze (which is rare for authentic confit).
