Frikadellen (Keto Modified)
Pan-Fried German Meat Patties with Creamy Mushroom Sauce (Flour-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: request the Frikadellen to be made without breadcrumbs or with a keto binder (e.g., almond flour, if possible, but often 'no breadcrumbs' is easier). About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Hearty pan-fried meat patties made from ground beef and/or pork, traditionally with breadcrumbs but modified for keto. Served with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce (ensure no flour thickeners) and a simple green salad.
Key ingredients
Ground beef/pork, egg, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, mushrooms, heavy cream, butter, green salad.
How to make it keto
Request the Frikadellen to be made without breadcrumbs or with a keto binder (e.g., almond flour, if possible, but often 'no breadcrumbs' is easier). Crucially, omit any potato or bread sides. Confirm creamy mushroom sauce is free of flour/starch thickeners.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Die Frikadellen bitte ohne Paniermehl. Keine Beilagen wie Brot, Kartoffelsalat oder Kartoffelpüree. Dazu hätte ich gerne zuckerfreien Senf und extra Essiggurken oder einen einfachen grünen Salat.
For the Frikadellen, no breadcrumbs, bread, potato salad, or mashed potatoes. I'd like sugar-free mustard and extra pickles or a green salad.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs in the patties (primary risk), flour/starch in the mushroom sauce, hidden sugars in sauce.
