Coq au Vin avec Purée de Chou-Fleur
Chicken in Red Wine Sauce with Cauliflower Purée
Yes, with a tweak: request 'sans pommes de terre' or 'sans pâtes'. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty French stew of chicken pieces braised with bacon, mushrooms, pearl onions, and red wine (typically Burgundy). Traditionally served with potatoes or pasta. For keto, these must be replaced with cauliflower purée or other low-carb vegetables, and high-carb vegetables in the stew minimized.
Key ingredients
Chicken (thighs/legs), red wine (Burgundy), bacon lardons, mushrooms, pearl onions (minimal), garlic, chicken broth, butter, olive oil, thyme, bay leaf.
How to make it keto
Request 'sans pommes de terre' or 'sans pâtes'. Ask for a side of cauliflower purée if available, or plain sautéed green vegetables. Ask for minimal pearl onions. Confirm no flour-based thickeners in the sauce.
