How to make it keto
Explicitly request cauliflower instead of potatoes. Confirm cream sauce is free of flour or starch thickeners. Watch for large amounts of onions.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Pode ser couve-flor em vez de batata? O molho de natas não leva farinha ou amido? Pode ir poucas cebolas?
Can I have cauliflower instead of potatoes? Is the cream sauce free of flour or starch thickeners? Please go light on the onions.
Watch out for
Potatoes (must be replaced with cauliflower). Cream sauces can be thickened with flour/starch. Large amounts of onions add carbs. Cheese may contain starches if pre-shredded.
