Confit de Canard, Légumes Verts
Duck Confit with Green Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, lentils, or other starchy accompaniments. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 French dishes.
What it is
A rich and tender duck leg, traditionally cured and cooked slowly in its own fat until succulent. It is typically served with starchy sides like potatoes (e.g., pommes sarladaises), which must be replaced with non-starchy green vegetables for a keto-friendly meal.
Key ingredients
Duck leg, duck fat, salt, garlic, thyme, black pepper. Accompanied by non-starchy green vegetables (e.g., green beans, spinach, asparagus).
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, lentils, or other starchy accompaniments. Ask for green beans, spinach, or asparagus sautéed in butter or olive oil. Confirm no sugary glaze is applied to the duck.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans pommes de terre, lentilles ni accompagnements féculents, s'il vous plaît. Puis-je avoir des haricots verts, épinards ou asperges sautés au beurre ou huile d'olive? Pas de glaçage sucré sur le canard?
No potatoes, lentils, or starchy sides, please. Could I have green beans, spinach, or asparagus sautéed in butter or olive oil? Confirm no sugary glaze on the duck.
Watch out for
Potatoes, sugary glazes or sauces, flour/thickeners in any accompanying sauce.
