What it is
Matjes is a delicacy of young, very mildly brined herring, known for its tender texture. It's often served 'Hausfrauen Art' (housewife style) with a cream sauce, onions, and sometimes apple slices. Traditionally, boiled potatoes or dark bread accompany it. The keto version removes these carb sides.
Key ingredients
Matjes herring fillets, sour cream/creme fraiche, onions, dill, chives, vinegar, oil. Served with a side green salad.
How to make it keto
Request no boiled potatoes or dark bread. Confirm the cream sauce does not contain significant added sugar or apple pieces. Opt for a simple side green salad with a vinegar-oil dressing.
Watch out for
Cream sauces sometimes contain hidden sugars or thickeners. Onions in the sauce contribute some carbs. Apple pieces, if present, should be avoided.
