White Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce (No Potatoes)
Seasonal White Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce (Without Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no boiled potatoes (Salzkartoffeln) or ham (which sometimes comes glazed with sugar). About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A highly prized seasonal dish during 'Spargelzeit' (asparagus season, typically April-June). Thick, white asparagus spears are gently cooked and served with a rich, buttery Hollandaise sauce.
Key ingredients
White asparagus, butter, egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no boiled potatoes (Salzkartoffeln) or ham (which sometimes comes glazed with sugar). The Hollandaise sauce itself is keto-friendly, but confirm no flour or starch is added as a thickener, or sugars. Plain steamed asparagus with butter is also an excellent option.
Watch out for
Traditional high-carb side (potatoes), sometimes ham is served which could have sugary glaze, potential for flour/starch in a poorly made Hollandaise.
