Gebratene Ente mit Keto-Beilagen
Roast Duck with Keto Sides (No Dumplings, No Sweet Red Cabbage)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or potatoes. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A succulent roasted duck, typically served with rich, flavorful pan drippings. Modified to be served with low-carb vegetables instead of traditional potato dumplings and heavily sweetened red cabbage.
Key ingredients
Whole duck, salt, pepper, herbs (marjoram, thyme), onion, duck fat. Keto sides might include steamed green beans, broccoli, or extra sauerkraut (if unsweetened).
How to make it keto
Request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or potatoes. Ask for red cabbage to be prepared without sugar, or substitute with plain sauerkraut or steamed green vegetables. Gravy should be checked for flour thickeners and sugar.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Keine Knödel oder Kartoffeln, bitte. Könnte der Rotkohl ohne Zucker zubereitet werden? Sonst bitte ungezuckertes Sauerkraut oder gedämpftes Gemüse. Ist die Soße ohne Mehl und Zucker?
No potato dumplings or potatoes. Unsweetened red cabbage? Or plain sauerkraut/steamed greens. Is the gravy free of flour and sugar?
Watch out for
Traditional potato dumplings (Knödel) are very high carb. Red cabbage is almost always heavily sweetened in German cuisine. Gravies can contain flour thickeners and sugar.
