Veal Rolls with Prosciutto and Cheese
Yes, with a tweak: confirm that no breading or flour is used on the veal or to thicken the sauce. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Italian dishes.
What it is
Thin slices of veal pounded flat, traditionally filled with savory prosciutto and a delicate cheese like provolone or fontina. These rolls are then pan-seared until golden and often finished in a light, savory white wine or broth sauce.
Key ingredients
Veal cutlets, prosciutto, provolone or fontina cheese, olive oil or butter, white wine, chicken broth, sage or parsley, garlic.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that no breading or flour is used on the veal or to thicken the sauce. Request no added sugars in the sauce. Ask for no starchy side dishes (e.g., pasta, polenta) and opt for a side of non-starchy vegetables like sautéed spinach or green beans.
Say this to the waiter (Italian)
Senza impanatura o farina nel vitello o nella salsa, e senza zucchero. Niente contorni amidacei; potrei avere spinaci saltati o fagiolini?
No breading or flour on veal or in sauce, and no added sugar. No starchy sides; I'd prefer sautéed spinach or green beans, please.
Watch out for
Hidden flour/starch in the sauce, breading on the veal, sugary wine reductions, added sugar in the sauce, and starchy side dishes are significant risks.
