How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potato dumplings (Knödel), no potato sides, and no traditional red cabbage (Rotkohl) due to its high sugar content. Confirm gravy is unthickened (natural pan reduction) and free of added sugar. Ask for steamed low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Traditional gravy (flour, sugar), red cabbage (high sugar), hidden sugar in marinade or braising liquid, small amounts of root vegetables in the braising base (which should be avoided or minimized).
