How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Specifically request 'ohne Panade' (without breading). Request no fries, potatoes, or Spätzle. Confirm the mushroom sauce is cream-based and not thickened with flour; ask for a reduced amount if unsure.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Das Naturschnitzel bitte ohne Panade und ohne Pommes, Kartoffeln oder Spätzle. Ist die Pilzrahmsoße ohne Mehl gebunden? Falls unsicher, bitte weniger Soße.
For the Naturschnitzel, please ohne Panade. No fries, potatoes, or Spätzle. Is the mushroom cream sauce flour-free? If unsure, a reduced amount, please.
Watch out for
Sauce thickening (flour/cornstarch) is a significant carb risk. Onions and mushrooms in the sauce contribute minimal carbs. Hidden sugars in pre-made broths.
