Schweinebraten mit Krautsalat
Roast Pork with Cabbage Salad
Yes, with a tweak: omit potato/bread dumplings (Knödel). About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Slices of slow-roasted pork shoulder, often served with a rich pan gravy. Traditionally accompanied by potato dumplings or bread dumplings, and red cabbage. For keto, ask to omit all starches and red cabbage (often sugary), requesting instead a side of plain sauerkraut or a simple green salad, and clarify gravy ingredients.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder, pork fat, onions, garlic, spices (caraway, marjoram), broth, cabbage, vinegar, oil. (Potential flour/starch in gravy)
How to make it keto
Omit potato/bread dumplings (Knödel). Request plain sauerkraut (Sauerkraut) or a green salad instead of Rotkohl (red cabbage, often sweetened) or Kartoffelsalat (potato salad). Ask if gravy is flour-thickened; if so, ask for it without or on the side sparingly.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Den Schweinebraten mit Krautsalat bitte ohne Knödel. Statt Rotkohl/Kartoffelsalat hätte ich gerne einfaches Sauerkraut oder einen grünen Salat. Ist die Soße gebunden? Wenn ja, bitte ohne oder separat.
Schweinebraten mit Krautsalat, please omit the Knödel. I'd like plain sauerkraut or a green salad instead. Is the gravy flour-thickened? If so, please serve it without or on the side.
Watch out for
