How to make it keto
Request no rice, potatoes, or other starchy accompaniments. Ensure the beurre blanc contains minimal shallots and no added sugar or thickeners. Ask for extra green vegetables cooked in butter or olive oil.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans riz, pommes de terre ni accompagnements féculents, s'il vous plaît. Puis-je avoir des légumes verts supplémentaires au beurre ou huile d'olive? Le beurre blanc est sans sucre ni épaississant?
No rice, potatoes, or starchy sides, please. Could I have extra green vegetables in butter or olive oil? Is the beurre blanc without added sugar or thickeners?
Watch out for
Starchy sides, flour or other thickeners in sauces, excessive shallots or sweet wine in the beurre blanc, sugary marinades or glazes on the fish.
