Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Crucially, request the cranberry sauce (Preiselbeersauce) be made without any added sugar. Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the sauce. Request no traditional high-carb accompaniments (e.g., Spätzli, polenta, potatoes, glazed vegetables).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Zu den Rehmedaillons bitte die Preiselbeersauce ohne zugesetzten Zucker und ohne Mehl/Stärke angedickt. Keine kohlenhydratreichen Beilagen wie Spätzli oder Kartoffeln.
For the Rehmedaillons, I need the Preiselbeersauce without added sugar and no flour/starch thickener. No high-carb sides like Spätzli or potatoes, please.
Watch out for
Traditional Preiselbeersauce is almost always heavily sweetened with sugar. Flour or starch can be used to thicken the sauce. High-carb side dishes are common with game (e.g., Spätzli, polenta, chestnuts).
