Keto Himmel und Erde (Selleriepüree & Zuckerfreies Apfelkompott)
Keto Heaven and Earth (Celery Root Mash & Sugar-Free Apple Compote with Blood Sausage)
Yes, with a tweak: essential: Replace potato mash with celery root puree. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A reimagined classic, traditionally made with potato mash ('Erde') and apple sauce ('Himmel'). This keto version uses creamy celery root puree for the 'earth' and a sugar-free apple compote for the 'heaven.' Served with pan-fried blood sausage (Blutwurst) or liver sausage (Leberwurst) and caramelized onions, it retains the savory and slightly sweet profile without the high carbs.
Key ingredients
Celery root, butter, heavy cream, apples (Granny Smith for tartness), erythritol/stevia, cinnamon, Blutwurst or Leberwurst (ensure low-carb fillers), onions, bacon fat or lard, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Essential: Replace potato mash with celery root puree. Use sugar-free apple compote. Ensure blood/liver sausage has no high-carb fillers like breadcrumbs or starches. Caramelize onions without sugar.
Watch out for
High sugar content in traditional apple sauce/compote. Blood/liver sausage may contain hidden carbs. Restaurant might use regular potatoes/apples.
