Geschmorte Schweinebäckchen mit Rahmwirsing
Braised Pork Cheeks with Creamed Savoy Cabbage
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used in the braising liquid or the creamed cabbage. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fork-tender pork cheeks slowly braised in a rich, savory gravy until meltingly soft, served alongside creamy savoy cabbage. The sauce is naturally thickened from the braising process, and the cabbage is prepared with cream and bacon, without added starch or sugar.
Key ingredients
Pork cheeks, savoy cabbage, bacon/lardons, heavy cream, onions, garlic, beef broth, red wine (optional), herbs (thyme, bay leaf), oil/butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starch is used in the braising liquid or the creamed cabbage. Confirm cabbage is not sweetened.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in braising liquid or creamed cabbage. Small amounts of wine if used in the braise.
