Request minimal pearl onions and carrots (if used). Confirm no flour/roux used for thickening. Ask for steamed low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli) instead of potatoes or noodles. Ensure wine is fully cooked down.
Watch out for
Flour/roux in sauce, high quantities of pearl onions and carrots, sugar in wine (though mostly cooked off), traditional potato or noodle sides.
