What it is
Slow-braised pork hock, known for its rich flavor and tender meat. Traditionally served with 'rotmos' (root mash), but here substituted with sauerkraut for a keto-friendly alternative.
Key ingredients
Pork hock, broth, bay leaf, peppercorns, onion, sauerkraut, mustard.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit 'rotmos' (rutabaga/potato mash) and any other high-carb sides. Request plain sauerkraut, confirming no added sugar. A generous dollop of Dijon mustard is usually keto-friendly.
Watch out for
Default 'rotmos' or other starchy sides. Some store-bought sauerkraut can contain sugar. Onion in braising liquid or sauce.
