Glarner Netzebraten
Glarus-Style Pork Roast in Caul Fat (with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request no starchy side dishes (e.g., potatoes, Spätzli, rice). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Swiss food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional Glarus pork roast, wrapped in delicate caul fat and slow-cooked to tender perfection, retaining its natural juices. The caul fat bastes the meat, keeping it incredibly moist and flavorful. Served with keto-friendly vegetable sides instead of traditional potatoes.
Key ingredients
Pork roast (e.g., neck or shoulder), caul fat, herbs (rosemary, thyme), garlic, onions, salt, pepper, beef or pork broth, butter, heavy cream (for pan sauce if any), seasonal low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, spinach).
How to make it keto
Request no starchy side dishes (e.g., potatoes, Spätzli, rice). Ensure any accompanying sauce or gravy is thickened without flour or starch. Ask for steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables with butter or olive oil.
