What it is
A popular seasonal dish during 'Spargelzeit' (asparagus season), featuring thick white asparagus spears drizzled with rich, buttery Hollandaise sauce. The asparagus and sauce are keto-friendly, but it's traditionally served with boiled new potatoes that must be avoided.
Key ingredients
White asparagus, butter, egg yolks, lemon juice, salt. Often served with ham.
How to make it keto
Order 'ohne Kartoffeln' (no potatoes). Confirm that the Hollandaise is made fresh with butter and egg yolks and does not contain significant flour or sugar (which is usually the case for authentic Hollandaise).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte ohne Kartoffeln. Ist die Hollandaise frisch mit Butter und Eigelb zubereitet, ohne Mehl oder Zucker?
No potatoes, please. Is the Hollandaise made fresh with butter and egg yolks, without flour or sugar?
Watch out for
Potatoes are a standard accompaniment. Some pre-made or less authentic Hollandaise sauces might contain starches or sugars, but traditional ones are fine.
