Duck Confit with Buttered Green Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: omit the traditional 'pommes sarladaises' (potatoes cooked in duck fat) or any other starchy potato/grain side. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 French dishes.
What it is
A classic Gascon dish of duck leg cured, then slowly cooked and preserved in its own fat until tender. Typically served crispy-skinned. Modified to omit traditional potatoes and served with a side of sautéed green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Duck leg, duck fat, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, side of sautéed green beans.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit the traditional 'pommes sarladaises' (potatoes cooked in duck fat) or any other starchy potato/grain side. Request a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables like sautéed green beans, spinach, or asparagus.
Watch out for
Potential for sweet glazes or sauces (uncommon for traditional confit, but always good to check), hidden sugars in vegetable preparations if not simple, traditional potato sides.
