Schweinebraten mit Sauerkraut (Keto-Modifiziert)
Roast Pork with Sauerkraut (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: omit potato dumplings (Knödel) or potatoes. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A classic German roast pork, slow-cooked until tender. Served with a generous portion of sauerkraut instead of traditional carb-heavy sides. Gravy should be requested to be served on the side and checked for thickeners/sugar, or omitted in favor of natural pan drippings.
Key ingredients
Pork roast (e.g., pork shoulder or neck), salt, pepper, caraway seeds, garlic, onion, sauerkraut, cooking fat (lard/oil).
How to make it keto
Omit potato dumplings (Knödel) or potatoes. Ask for sauerkraut without added sugar. Request clear pan drippings instead of thickened gravy, or ask for gravy on the side to verify ingredients.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Knödel oder Brot. Gerne Sauerkraut statt Rotkohl. Ist die Soße mehlgebunden? Wenn ja, nur den Bratenfond, keine Soße. Keine süße Glasur am Fleisch.
No potato dumplings or bread, please. Sauerkraut instead of red cabbage. Is the gravy flour-thickened? If so, just drippings, no gravy. No sweetened glaze on the pork.
Watch out for
Thickened gravy (flour/starch), hidden sugar in sauerkraut, any sugary marinades.
