Ribbe (Keto-modfisiert med Usøtet Rødkål og Keto Grønnsaker)
Crispy Pork Belly (with Unsweetened Braised Cabbage and Keto Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: omit all potatoes, medisterkaker/pølser (often contain fillers), and brown sauce (typically flour-thickened and/or sweetened). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Norwegian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Traditional Norwegian Christmas pork ribs (pork belly with crispy skin), slow-roasted to perfection. Typically served with boiled potatoes, medisterkaker/pølser, and braised cabbage (rødkål/surkål) which is often sweetened.
Key ingredients
Pork belly (ribbe), salt, pepper, unsweetened braised red/sauerkraut, butter, keto vegetables (e.g., green beans, Brussels sprouts).
How to make it keto
Omit all potatoes, medisterkaker/pølser (often contain fillers), and brown sauce (typically flour-thickened and/or sweetened). Request unsweetened braised cabbage (rødkål/surkål) or a side of steamed/sautéed low-carb vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Norwegian)
Til Ribbe, takk uten poteter, medisterkaker/pølser og brun saus. Ønsker usøtet rødkål eller en porsjon lavkarbo-grønnsaker.
For the Ribbe, no potatoes, medisterkaker/pølser, or brown sauce, please. I'd like unsweetened rødkål or a side of low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Boiled potatoes, medisterkaker/pølser (fillers), flour/sugar in brown sauce, and most critically, sweetened braised cabbage (rødkål/surkål).
