Knusprige Schweinshaxe mit Zuckerfreiem Sauerkraut
Crispy Roasted Pork Knuckle with Unsweetened Sauerkraut
Yes, with a tweak: request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or any potato sides. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A massive, slow-roasted pork knuckle with incredibly crispy skin and tender, succulent meat. A very traditional Bavarian dish, usually served with potato dumplings. This keto version comes with un-sweetened sauerkraut instead.
Key ingredients
Pork knuckle, salt, pepper, garlic, caraway seeds, beer (for basting/braising, minimal carbs if cooked down), sauerkraut (cabbage, salt).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or any potato sides. Ask for plain, unsweetened sauerkraut.
Watch out for
Potato dumplings/mashed potatoes as sides; potential sugar in sauerkraut or marinades.
