Schweinebraten mit Blaukraut und Keto-Beilagen
Roast Pork with Red Cabbage and Keto Sides (omit potato dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or bread. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Traditionally slow-roasted pork shoulder or belly, tender and flavorful, often served with a rich pan gravy. Here, it is paired with braised red cabbage (Blaukraut) and other low-carb sides, specifically omitting potato dumplings or bread. The pork is naturally keto, rich in fat and protein.
Key ingredients
Pork roast (shoulder or belly), salt, pepper, caraway seeds, garlic, onions, beef broth, red cabbage, apple cider vinegar, cloves, bay leaves, butter/lard, possibly some bacon.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or bread. Ask for extra braised red cabbage (confirm no added sugar or excessive apple in preparation, otherwise opt for green salad or green beans). Gravy should be naturally thickened or reduced, not flour-thickened.
Watch out for
Gravy (flour thickeners, hidden sugar), red cabbage (often prepared with apples, sugar, or fruit preserves).
