How to make it keto
Confirm braising liquid is flour/cornstarch-free and no added sugar. Request only low-carb vegetables (e.g., celery, onion, garlic) are used in the braising liquid, or that they are removed before serving. Ensure creamed cabbage uses no flour or potato.
Watch out for
Flour/cornstarch thickeners in sauce/gravy, high-carb root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips) in braising liquid, added sugars in sauce.
