Schweinebraten mit Keto-Gemüse
Roast Pork with Low-Carb Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potato dumplings, bread, or red cabbage. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional German slow-roasted pork, often with crispy skin. The pork itself is naturally keto-friendly, but traditional starchy sides are omitted. Served with steamed or sautéed green vegetables instead of potato dumplings or bread. Gravy should be requested without thickeners.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder or belly, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, garlic, onion, butter/oil, assorted green vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli).
How to make it keto
Request no potato dumplings, bread, or red cabbage. Ask for green vegetables (steamed or sautéed) as a side. Confirm gravy is not thickened with flour/starch or contains added sugar.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Knödel, Kartoffelpüree oder Brot. Extra kohlenhydratarmes Gemüse. Ist die Soße mit Mehl angedickt? Falls ja, Natursoße oder das Fleisch trocken. Rotkohl ohne Zucker.
No potato dumplings, mashed potatoes, or bread, please. Extra low-carb vegetables. Is the gravy flour-thickened? If so, natural drippings or dry meat. Unsweetened red cabbage.
Watch out for
Gravy (flour/starch thickeners, hidden sugar), marinades/rubs (sugar), red cabbage (often sweetened).
