How to make it keto
Explicitly ask to omit any potatoes, pasta, or bread traditionally served with the stew. Inquire if a roux is used to thicken the sauce; if so, account for the higher carb count or ask for a thinner sauce. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables like green beans or sautéed spinach.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Coq au Vin, pas de pommes de terre, pâtes ou riz s'il vous plaît. La sauce peut-elle être sans farine? Peu de carottes et oignons grelots, ou des légumes verts supplémentaires.
For the Coq au Vin, no potatoes, pasta, or rice. Sauce without flour? Limited carrots and pearl onions, or extra green vegetables.
Watch out for
Flour (roux) used for thickening, pearl onions and red wine contribute carbs, traditional starchy sides.
