What it is
A traditional cold dish featuring tender pieces of slow-cooked beef or pork (e.g., from knuckle or shank), set in a savory gelatin made from its own broth, served chilled with a simple oil and vinegar dressing. Naturally keto.
Key ingredients
Beef/Pork (e.g., shank, knuckle), beef/pork broth (gelatin rich), vinegar (e.g., apple cider or white wine), olive oil, onions, carrots (small amount for broth), bay leaf, peppercorns, salt, gherkins (optional).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugar in the vinaigrette. Request no bread or potatoes served alongside. Confirm it's a clear aspic without added starches.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Meine Tellersülze bitte ohne Zucker im Dressing. Kein Brot oder Erdäpfel dazu. Und bitte eine klare Sülze, ohne Stärkezusatz.
My Tellersülze: no sugar in the vinaigrette, please. No bread or potatoes. And confirm it's clear aspic without added starches.
Watch out for
Sugar in dressing. Bread or potato sides. Some restaurants might add unnecessary fillers/starches to the aspic, but typically it's gelatin from meat.
