Moose meat, salt, sugar (for curing, largely removed), black pepper, juniper berries, heavy cream, unsweetened lingonberries, fresh herbs.
How to make it keto
Ensure no bread, crackers, or sugary sauces are served. Verify lingonberry cream is unsweetened.
Say this to the waiter (Norwegian)
Ingen brød, kjeks eller sukkerholdige sauser, takk. Er tyttebærkremen usøtet?
Please serve without bread, crackers, or sugary sauces. Is the lingonberry cream unsweetened?
Watch out for
Residual sugar from the curing process (usually minimal), added sugar in the lingonberry cream or other garnishes.
