How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, egg noodles, or croutons. Ask for extra mushrooms instead of pearl onions, and a side of steamed green vegetables like green beans or Brussels sprouts. Inquire if the sauce is thickened with flour (roux) and if any sugar is added.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Coq au Vin, pas de pommes de terre, de pâtes ou de croûtons. Puis-je avoir plus de champignons à la place des oignons grelots, des légumes verts en accompagnement, et la sauce est-elle sans farine ni sucre ?
For the Coq au Vin, no potatoes, noodles, or croutons. Can I have extra mushrooms instead of pearl onions, a side of green vegetables, and is the sauce flour and sugar-free?
Watch out for
Traditional recipes often use a flour roux to thicken the sauce. Pearl onions and carrots (if present) contribute carbs. Residual sugar from the red wine can be a factor. Confirm no starchy sides like potatoes or pasta.
