What it is
Two large, grilled German Bratwurst sausages, typically made from seasoned pork. Served plain, often with a side of fermented sauerkraut. It is crucial to omit the traditional bun (Brötchen) and any accompanying fries (Pommes) or other starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Pork sausage, natural casings, salt, pepper, marjoram, sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), cooking oil/grilling fat.
How to make it keto
Order 'ohne Brötchen' (without bun) and 'ohne Pommes' (without fries). Confirm no added sugar in the sauerkraut ('Zucker im Sauerkraut'). Request mustard (Senf) without added sugar if available.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte kein Brötchen dazu. Ist der Senf ungesüßt, vielleicht Dijon? Ich hätte gerne extra Sauerkraut statt Kartoffelsalat.
Please, no bun or bread roll. Is the mustard unsweetened, perhaps Dijon? Could I have extra sauerkraut instead of potato salad?
Watch out for
Sugars in mustard, sugar added to sauerkraut, starchy fillers in lower-quality sausages.
