Ensure no flour or cornstarch is used as a thickener in the sauce. Confirm no bread, rice, or other high-carb sides are served. Restaurant chefs must be aware to keep onion/leek quantity minimal.
Watch out for
Small amounts of onion and leek in the sauce base; white wine used for deglazing may contribute minor sugars. Hidden sugars in pre-made stocks or seasoning mixes.
