How to make it keto
Request no noodles, potatoes, or bread to accompany the stew. Inquire if any flour or starch is used as a thickener in the sauce; if so, ask for a thinner, un-thickened version or for the sauce to be made without it.
Watch out for
Flour/starch used to thicken the sauce (very common in restaurant stews), sugar used to caramelize onions (also common), accompanying starchy sides.
