Moules Marinières (sans Frites)
Mussels Steamed in White Wine with Herbs (No Fries)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no frites or bread. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh mussels steamed in a fragrant broth of white wine, butter, shallots, garlic, and fresh parsley. Traditionally served with fries for dipping in the savory broth, but enjoyed without the starchy accompaniment for a keto meal.
Key ingredients
Mussels, white wine, butter, shallots, garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no frites or bread. Confirm no flour thickener in the broth and no added sugars.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour les Moules Marinières, pas de frites ni de pain, s'il vous plaît. Le bouillon est-il sans farine et sans sucres ajoutés ?
For the Moules Marinières, no frites or bread, please. Can you confirm the broth has no flour thickener and no added sugar?
Watch out for
Traditional frites or bread; potential flour thickener in the broth (unlikely for classic marinières but worth confirming); residual carbs from white wine and shallots.
