Raclette (mit Trockenfleisch und Gemüse)
Raclette (served with cured meats and low-carb vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: decline the traditional boiled potatoes. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Swiss food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Melted Raclette cheese, traditionally scraped from a wheel or melted in individual pans, known for its distinct aroma and creamy texture. Served with a generous assortment of Swiss cured meats (e.g., Coppa, Jambon cru) and a side of low-carb vegetables or a mixed green salad, omitting the traditional potatoes.
Key ingredients
Raclette cheese, various Swiss cured meats (e.g., Coppa, Bündner Rohschinken), cornichons (gherkins), pearl onions, ground pepper, paprika. Served with a side salad or steamed vegetables like green beans or asparagus.
How to make it keto
Decline the traditional boiled potatoes. Request extra cured meats and a selection of low-carb vegetables or a plain green salad. Limit intake of cornichons and pearl onions as they are often pickled in sugary brine.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Raclette, bitte. Keine Salzkartoffeln. Ich hätte gerne extra Trockenfleisch und kohlenhydratarmes Gemüse oder einen grünen Salat.
Raclette, please. No boiled potatoes. I'd like extra cured meats and low-carb vegetables or a plain green salad.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is potatoes. Pickles and pearl onions are common sides and can contain significant hidden sugars from their brining liquid. Some cured meats may contain small amounts of sugar in their curing process.
