Kalbsgeschnetzeltes an Rahmsauce mit Saisongemüse
Veal Strips in Cream Sauce with Seasonal Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no flour or starch for thickening the sauce if possible, or confirm minimal use. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Swiss food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender strips of pan-fried veal (not 'Zürcher Geschnetzeltes') served in a rich and creamy mushroom sauce. This dish is modified to be served with a generous portion of seasonal low-carb vegetables instead of traditional carb-heavy sides like Rösti or pasta.
Key ingredients
Veal strips, mushrooms, heavy cream, butter, shallots, garlic, white wine (optional), broth, herbs (parsley, chives). Served with steamed green beans, asparagus, or cauliflower.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no flour or starch for thickening the sauce if possible, or confirm minimal use. Crucially, ask for seasonal low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, spinach, broccoli, asparagus) instead of Rösti, rice, or noodles.
