How to make it keto
Ensure no flour is used to thicken any sauce. Confirm that if canned artichokes are used, they are packed in water, not marinated with sugar. Request no potato or bread side.
Watch out for
Flour thickeners in sauce, sugar in marinated/canned artichokes, potato or bread served as a side.
