Keto Labskaus Style (Cauliflower Base)
Corned Beef Hash with Cauliflower Mash and Fried Egg
Yes, with a tweak: replace potatoes with a cauliflower mash. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A deconstructed, keto-friendly take on the classic Northern German Labskaus. Featuring savory corned beef mixed with a cauliflower mash, topped with a fried egg and served with pickled gherkins (no beets).
Key ingredients
Corned beef (or slow-cooked beef), cauliflower, onions, beef broth, butter, heavy cream, pickled gherkins (sugar-free if possible), fried egg, salt, pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Replace potatoes with a cauliflower mash. Omit or severely limit the traditional beets, which are higher in carbs. Request sugar-free pickled gherkins.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte das Labskaus mit Blumenkohlpüree statt Kartoffeln. Die Rote Bete bitte weglassen oder nur sehr wenig. Und zuckerfreie Gewürzgurken, bitte.
Can I have cauliflower mash instead of potatoes? Please limit or omit the beets. I need sugar-free pickled gherkins.
Watch out for
Traditional Labskaus relies heavily on potatoes and often includes high-carb beets. Pickled gherkins can contain significant added sugar.
