How to make it keto
ABSOLUTELY no root vegetables (carrots, celery root, parsnips) in the sauce base. Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce; it should be a pure cream and broth reduction. Omit all bread dumplings (knedle) or any other starchy sides. Request a simple side of steamed green vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Prosím, žiadna koreňová zelenina, múka ani škrob v omáčke. Iba smotana a vývar. Bez knedle a iných škrobových príloh. Chcem jednoduchú parenú zeleninu.
Please, no root vegetables, flour, or starch in the sauce. It should be a cream and broth reduction. No knedle or starchy sides. I'd like a simple side of steamed green vegetables.
Watch out for
Root vegetables in the sauce, flour thickeners, hidden sugars in the sauce, traditional carb sides (dumplings, bread).
