Frikadellen ohne Semmelbrösel
German Meat Patties without Breadcrumbs (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: request the Frikadellen to be made without breadcrumbs (Semmelbrösel). About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 German dishes.
What it is
Pan-fried ground meat patties, similar to meatballs or Salisbury steak, usually made from a mix of pork and beef. Traditionally bound with breadcrumbs and served with potatoes, this keto version is explicitly free of breadcrumbs.
Key ingredients
Ground pork/beef mix, egg, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, cooking oil/butter, side salad with vinaigrette.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request the Frikadellen to be made without breadcrumbs (Semmelbrösel). Omit any potato or bread sides. Request a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs in the patties (the main risk), hidden sugars in salad dressing.
