Gebratener Spargel mit Sauce Hollandaise und Schinken
Roasted Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce and Ham
Yes, with a tweak: order without potatoes ('Kartoffeln'), which are traditionally served alongside. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A seasonal German delicacy, especially during 'Spargelzeit' (asparagus season). Pan-fried or roasted asparagus (often white), served with a rich, buttery Hollandaise sauce and slices of cooked ham. This dish is naturally keto-friendly, provided no carb sides are included.
Key ingredients
Asparagus (white or green), Hollandaise sauce (egg yolks, butter, lemon juice, salt), cooked ham (e.g., Schwarzwälder Schinken, cured or cooked ham slices), butter/oil for cooking asparagus.
How to make it keto
Order without potatoes ('Kartoffeln'), which are traditionally served alongside. Confirm Hollandaise sauce is made authentically without flour or sugar, and that the ham contains no added sugars or glazes.
Watch out for
Potatoes (traditional side), flour/sugar in non-authentic Hollandaise, sugar in ham glazes.
