What it is
A rich and savory dish of mixed mushrooms in a creamy sauce, traditionally served with bread or potato dumplings. Can be enjoyed as a standalone side or paired with plain grilled meat.
Key ingredients
Assorted mushrooms (e.g., button, oyster, king trumpet), heavy cream, butter, onions, garlic, parsley, vegetable broth. May contain trace amounts of flour as a thickener.
How to make it keto
Strictly no bread, noodles, rice, or potato dumplings. Ask if the sauce is thickened with flour; if so, request a 'glutenfrei' version if possible, or accept the higher carb risk. Can be eaten plain or as a sauce over a simple grilled protein (e.g., chicken breast).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Die Rahmschwammerl bitte. Ohne Brot, Nudeln, Reis oder Knödel. Ist die Soße mit Mehl gebunden? Wenn ja, gibt es eine glutenfreie Option?
Rahmschwammerl, please. No bread, noodles, rice, or potato dumplings. Is the sauce thickened with flour? If so, can I have a gluten-free version?
Watch out for
Flour thickeners are common in creamy sauces. Onions and mushrooms themselves contain some natural carbs. Some chefs might add a touch of sugar for flavor balancing.
