How to make it keto
Request no fruit-based sauces (e.g., cherry, fig, orange sauce). Ask for a simple pan sauce made with the duck fat and maybe a splash of dry red wine or stock, or just the seared duck breast plain. Decline starchy sides like mashed potatoes or gratin; opt for green vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pas de sauce aux fruits, s'il vous plaît. Une sauce simple ou nature. Sans accompagnement féculent; je préfère des légumes verts.
No fruit-based sauces, please. A simple pan sauce or plain. No starchy sides; I'd prefer green vegetables.
