Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut und Senf (Ohne Brötchen)
Grilled Sausage with Sauerkraut and Mustard (No Bun)
Yes, with a tweak: request 'ohne Brötchen' (without bun). About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 German dishes.
What it is
A classic German grilled or pan-fried sausage (like a Nürnberger or Thüringer Bratwurst), traditionally served with a bun and mustard. For keto, the bun is omitted, and it's served alongside unsweetened sauerkraut and low-carb mustard.
Key ingredients
Pork or veal sausage (Bratwurst), sauerkraut, mustard (Dijon or spicy brown, unsweetened).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'ohne Brötchen' (without bun). Opt for unsweetened mustards (e.g., Dijon, spicy brown) and avoid 'Süßer Senf' (sweet mustard). Confirm sausages do not contain excessive starchy fillers (high-quality Bratwurst rarely does).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Die Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut und ungesüßtem Senf, bitte. Ohne Brötchen und keinen süßen Senf.
Bratwurst with sauerkraut and unsweetened mustard, please. No bun, and no sweet mustard.
Watch out for
The bun, sweet mustards, and sometimes hidden fillers or sugars in cheaper sausages.
