Hachis Parmentier au Chou-fleur
Cauliflower-Topped Beef Parmentier
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request mashed cauliflower topping instead of mashed potatoes. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly twist on the classic French shepherd's pie (Hachis Parmentier), featuring a savory ground beef filling seasoned with herbs and broth, topped with a creamy, cheesy mashed cauliflower gratinée instead of traditional mashed potatoes.
Key ingredients
Ground beef, onions (small amount), garlic, beef broth, tomato paste (small amount), herbs (thyme, bay leaf), cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, Gruyère cheese, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request mashed cauliflower topping instead of mashed potatoes. Confirm no flour thickeners are used in the meat base and that high-carb vegetables like carrots are omitted or minimal.
Watch out for
Traditional mashed potato topping is the main carb risk. Flour in the meat base, high quantities of onions/carrots, and sugar in tomato paste (even small amounts) can contribute to carbs.
