How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are roasted with the cheeks or served on the side. Request gravy/sauce without flour thickeners or sugar. Ask for a generous portion of sautéed mushrooms instead of traditional sides.
Watch out for
Gravy/sauce might be thickened with flour or cornstarch. Some recipes might use sweet wine. Standard sides like mashed potatoes or rice are high-carb.
