How to make it keto
Ensure no breadcrumbs or other high-carb fillers are used in the meat stuffing. Request a sauce that is not thickened with flour (e.g., pure cream sauce). Served without traditional carb sides.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Paniermehl oder andere kohlenhydratreiche Füllstoffe in der Füllung. Eine Soße ohne Mehl, zum Beispiel eine reine Rahmsoße. Ohne traditionelle Kohlenhydrat-Beilagen servieren.
No breadcrumbs or high-carb fillers in the stuffing, please. I'd like a flour-free sauce, like a pure cream sauce. Please serve without traditional carb sides.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs/flour in stuffing, flour/starch in sauce, hidden sugars.
