Côte de Veau à la Crème
Veal Chop in Cream Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: request no flour (roux) in the sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A tender, pan-seared veal chop finished with a rich, creamy sauce. Regional variations might include mushrooms or a touch of Calvados (apple brandy).
Key ingredients
Veal chop, heavy cream, butter, shallots, chicken or veal stock, white wine (negligible carbs after reduction), mushrooms.
How to make it keto
Request no flour (roux) in the sauce. If Calvados is typically used, ask for it to be omitted or replaced with a dry white wine reduction to minimize sugar. Ensure no starchy sides (e.g., mashed potatoes).
Watch out for
Flour in sauce, Calvados (apple brandy) adding sugar, carby side dishes, hidden sugars in stocks.
