Braised Veal Cheeks in Red Wine with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes, rice, pasta, or flour for thickening the sauce. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Macedonian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender veal cheeks slow-braised in a rich red wine sauce with aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery. The long cooking time results in incredibly tender meat and a deeply flavorful sauce. This dish is usually served with potatoes or pasta, but can be easily adapted.
Key ingredients
Veal cheeks, red wine, beef broth, olive oil, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes, rice, pasta, or flour for thickening the sauce. Ask for it to be served with extra keto-friendly vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or green beans instead of starchy sides.
Say this to the waiter (Macedonian)
Ве молам без компири, ориз, тестенини или брашно за згуснување на сосот. Послужете со дополнителен кето-зеленчук како брокула, спанаќ или боранија.
No potatoes, rice, pasta, or flour for thickening the sauce, please. Serve with extra keto-friendly vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or green beans.
Watch out for
Flour as a thickener in the sauce, carrots and onions contribute moderate carbs, residual sugars from red wine, and the biggest risk: starchy side dishes like potatoes or pasta.
