Natur Schnitzel
Unbreaded Pork or Veal Cutlet with Lemon
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'Natur' (unbreaded) schnitzel. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 German dishes.
What it is
A pan-fried, unbreaded cutlet of pork or veal, seasoned simply and typically served with a wedge of lemon. This avoids the high-carb breading of traditional schnitzel, making it an excellent keto option when paired with suitable sides.
Key ingredients
Pork loin or veal, butter or cooking oil (e.g., clarified butter, vegetable oil blend), salt, pepper, lemon.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'Natur' (unbreaded) schnitzel. Ensure no flour is used in the pan-frying. Decline starchy sides like potatoes, fries, or spaetzle. Request a side of steamed green vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, asparagus) or a mixed salad with oil and vinegar dressing.
Watch out for
Hidden flour or starch in the pan-frying process (less common for 'Natur' but possible), traditional high-carb side dishes, sugary salad dressings.
