How to make it keto
Request the wild boar roast without any sugary glazes or marinades. Ensure any accompanying gravy is not flour-thickened; ask for a natural jus. Opt for keto-friendly sides such as braised red cabbage (confirm no sugar added), sautéed greens (spinach, kale), or roasted non-starchy vegetables.
