Gefülltes Kalbsplätzli mit Pilzen (ohne Panade)
Veal Cutlet Stuffed with Mushrooms (Keto, no breading)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure absolutely no breading (panade) is used. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Swiss dishes.
What it is
Thin, pounded veal cutlets generously stuffed with a savory mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, herbs, and often a touch of cheese. The cutlets are then pan-fried or baked without any breading for a keto-friendly preparation.
Key ingredients
Veal cutlets, mushrooms (e.g., champignons, porcini), onions, garlic, fresh parsley, egg, grated cheese (e.g., Gruyère, optional), butter/oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure absolutely no breading (panade) is used. Confirm the stuffing does not contain breadcrumbs or other high-carb binders. Request any accompanying sauce to be keto-friendly (e.g., simple butter sauce, unthickened cream sauce) and served with low-carb vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Ganz wichtig: Bitte ohne Panade. Ist die Füllung ohne Paniermehl oder andere kohlenhydratreiche Bindemittel? Dazu eine Keto-Soße (z.B. Butter- oder ungedickte Rahmsoße) und kohlenhydratarmes Gemüse.
Crucially, no breading (panade), please. Confirm no breadcrumbs/high-carb binders in stuffing. I'd like a keto-friendly sauce, like butter or unthickened cream, with low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Breading on the cutlet, breadcrumbs/fillers in the stuffing, flour/starch in sauces, hidden sugars.
