How to make it keto
Crucially, request no potato or bread dumplings, no bread, and no traditional red cabbage (which is often sweetened). Ask for green beans with bacon, sauerkraut, or pan-fried mushrooms instead. Ensure gravy is flour/starch-free; if not, ask for the pork without gravy or with clear pan drippings.
