Spekemat
Cured Meats Platter
Yes, with a tweak: omit all high-carb accompaniments like flatbread (flatbrød/lefse), potato salad, or any sugary jams/jellies. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Norwegian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
An assortment of traditional Norwegian cured meats, such as fenalår (cured lamb leg), spekeskinke (cured ham), or various spekepølser (cured sausages). It's a popular summer platter.
Key ingredients
Assorted cured meats (e.g., fenalår, spekeskinke, spekepølse), rømme (sour cream), scrambled or hard-boiled eggs (optional), olives, plain pickles.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit all high-carb accompaniments like flatbread (flatbrød/lefse), potato salad, or any sugary jams/jellies. Ensure pickles are plain and not sweetened, or request them omitted if sugar content is uncertain. Request extra sour cream and possibly eggs.
