Schweinebraten mit Sauerkraut und gedünstetem Gemüse
German Roast Pork with Sauerkraut and Steamed Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or bread. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for German food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender, slow-roasted pork shoulder or belly, often with a crispy skin. Served with a side of fermented cabbage (sauerkraut) and steamed green vegetables, specifically omitting traditional potato dumplings or bread rolls. The gravy must be checked for thickeners and added sugars.
Key ingredients
Pork roast (shoulder/belly), salt, pepper, caraway, garlic, onion, sauerkraut, broccoli, green beans, butter, pan drippings (assuming no thickeners).
How to make it keto
Request no potato dumplings (Knödel) or bread. Ask for sauerkraut without added sugar (as it's a common restaurant practice). Request steamed non-starchy vegetables (broccoli, green beans, spinach) instead of starchy sides. Inquire about gravy ingredients to avoid flour/starch thickeners and sugar, or request plain pan drippings.
Watch out for
Gravy (flour, sugar), sauerkraut (added sugar), traditional sides (potatoes, dumplings, bread).
