Potée Lorraine (Keto)
Keto Smoked Pork and Cabbage Stew
Yes, with a tweak: omit all high-carb root vegetables like potatoes and carrots. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A robust and comforting slow-cooked stew from the Lorraine region, re-imagined for a keto lifestyle. It features generous portions of rich smoked pork (like bacon, ham hock, or smoked pork shoulder) and savory pork sausages, combined with a hearty medley of low-carb vegetables such as cabbage, celery, and a very limited amount of turnip, all simmered in a deeply flavorful broth.
Key ingredients
Smoked pork (bacon, ham hock, or smoked shoulder), various pork sausages, green cabbage, celery, turnip (small amount), leeks (white part only, small amount), onion (small amount), garlic, rich chicken or pork broth, bay leaf, cloves, fresh thyme, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit all high-carb root vegetables like potatoes and carrots. Ensure sausages are checked for hidden sugars or starchy fillers. Control portions of naturally higher-carb vegetables like turnips and leeks to keep the total carb count low.
Watch out for
Natural carbs from turnips, leeks, and onions can accumulate if not limited. Pork sausages can contain hidden sugars or gluten-containing binders. Be wary of any pre-made broth that might contain added sugars or high-carb ingredients.
