Knusprige Schweinshaxe mit Sauerkraut und Keto-Beilagen
Crispy Pork Knuckle with Sauerkraut and Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: omit potato dumplings or mashed potatoes. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A large, roasted or grilled pork knuckle with incredibly crispy skin and tender, juicy meat. Traditionally served with potato dumplings, but here paired with tangy sauerkraut and a side of green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Pork knuckle, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, garlic, onions, beer (for braising, most carbs cook off), sauerkraut, bacon fat/lard, butter, green beans or broccoli.
How to make it keto
Omit potato dumplings or mashed potatoes. Request unsweetened sauerkraut (most is naturally low-carb, but check). Ask for green vegetables instead.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Kartoffelknödel oder Kartoffelpüree. Ist das Sauerkraut ungesüßt? Stattdessen hätte ich gerne grünes Gemüse.
No potato dumplings or mashed potatoes, please. Is the sauerkraut unsweetened? I'd like green vegetables instead of potatoes.
Watch out for
Potatoes/dumplings, sweetened sauerkraut (rare but possible), beer in braising liquid (most carbs cook off, but some residue).
