Pickled Herring in Cream Sauce with Onions (Keto Modified)

What it is

Key ingredients
Matjes (pickled herring), sour cream/crème fraîche, onions, salt, pepper, dill.
How to make it keto
Request 'ohne Kartoffeln und Äpfel' (without potatoes and apples). Ensure the cream sauce itself is not sweetened.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Kartoffeln oder Brot dazu. Und ohne Apfelstücke in der Sahnesoße.
No potatoes or bread, please. And without apple pieces in the cream sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in the pickled herring preparation, sweetened cream sauce, or the presence of traditional high-carb components like apples if not fully omitted.
