Braisert Reinsdyrskank med Sellerirotpuré
Braised Reindeer Shank with Celery Root Purée
Yes, with a tweak: request celery root purée instead of potato mash. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Norwegian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Slow-braised reindeer shank, cooked until fall-off-the-bone tender in a rich, savory gravy, served with a creamy and smooth celery root purée instead of traditional potato mash.
Key ingredients
Reindeer shank, beef broth, red wine (optional), onion, garlic, herbs (rosemary, thyme), heavy cream, butter, celery root, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request celery root purée instead of potato mash. Ensure the gravy is not thickened with flour (gluten-free thickeners like xanthan gum are rare in traditional places, so cream/reduction is preferred). Confirm no sugary root vegetables like parsnips or carrots in the purée.
Say this to the waiter (Norwegian)
Kan jeg få sellerirotpuré i stedet for potet? Sjekk at sausen ikke er jevnet med mel, og at puréen er uten pastinakk eller gulrøtter.
Please serve with celery root puree, not potato. Ensure the gravy is not thickened with flour, and the puree contains no parsnips or carrots.
Watch out for
Gravy thickened with flour or cornstarch. Traditional mashed potatoes or root vegetables. Possible hidden sugars in reduced sauces.
