Kjøttkaker med Fløtesaus og Grønnsaker
Norwegian Meatballs with Cream Sauce and Vegetables (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or traditional high-carb sides (e.g., peas, lingonberry jam). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Norwegian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Hearty Norwegian meatballs (typically ground beef/pork mix) served in a rich cream sauce, adapted for keto by replacing traditional potatoes and peas with steamed green vegetables like broccoli or green beans.
Key ingredients
Ground beef and/or pork, egg, spices (nutmeg, pepper), heavy cream, butter, beef broth, mushrooms, broccoli, green beans.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or traditional high-carb sides (e.g., peas, lingonberry jam). Confirm cream sauce is not thickened with flour or ask for a simple butter/cream sauce. Opt for steamed green vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Norwegian)
Vennligst dropp poteter, erter og tyttebærsyltetøy. Er fløtesausen uten mel? Eventuelt kun en enkel smør/fløtesaus. Dampede grønne grønnsaker, takk.
No potatoes, peas, or lingonberry jam. Confirm cream sauce is flour-free; otherwise, simple butter/cream. Steamed green vegetables, please.
Watch out for
Flour or starch thickeners in the sauce, sugar in prepared vegetables, hidden sugars in pre-made meatballs or sauces.
