Braised Pork Cheeks (Keto Sauce and Sides)

Key ingredients
Pork cheeks, bacon, onions, celery, garlic, bay leaf, allspice, dry red wine, beef or pork stock, heavy cream or sour cream (for finishing).
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that the braising sauce is not thickened with flour or starch; it should be naturally reduced or cream-based. Request no root vegetables (potatoes, parsnips, excessive carrots) in the braise or as a side. Opt for a side of steamed green vegetables like broccoli or spinach.
Say this to the waiter (Polish)
Proszę potwierdzić, że sos nie jest zagęszczany mąką ani skrobią. Bez warzyw korzeniowych w potrawie czy jako dodatek; proszę o zielone warzywa gotowane na parze.
Please confirm the sauce isn't thickened with flour or starch. No root vegetables in the braise or as a side; just steamed green vegetables.
Watch out for
Flour or starch thickeners in the sauce. Sugar in braising liquids. High-carb root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips) as sides or integrated into the stew if not specifically requested otherwise.
