Lammhaxe geschmort
Braised Lamb Shank with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure sauce is not thickened with flour/starch, omit traditional carby sides (potatoes, rice, couscous), ask for extra keto vegetables. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Swiss food, so watch the portion.

Key ingredients
Lamb shank, lamb/beef broth, red wine (optional), garlic, rosemary, thyme, onions, carrots (minimal), celery, olive oil, salt, pepper, seasonal low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, spinach, broccoli).

Say this to the waiter (German)
Die Sauce der Lammhaxe bitte ohne Mehl oder Stärke gebunden. Keine Kartoffeln, Reis oder Couscous als Beilage. Dafür gerne extra Keto-Gemüse.
Please ensure the sauce for the Lammhaxe is not thickened with flour or starch. No potatoes, rice, or couscous. I'd like extra keto vegetables.
Watch out for
Flour/starch in sauce thickeners, carrots/onions/celery in braising liquid (minimal impact after long cooking and reduction), potential sugar in commercial broth.
