How to make it keto
Request no flour or potato starch in the cream sauce. Confirm leeks are not cooked with high-carb vegetables (like carrots) or sugary glazes.
Watch out for
White wine (if used heavily for deglazing and not fully reduced), hidden thickeners in cream sauce, leeks themselves contain moderate carbs if served in a very large portion.
