Züri-Stil Gulasch (ohne Kohlenhydratbeilagen)
Zurich Style Goulash (with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the goulash sauce. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Swiss food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A robust and flavorful beef goulash, slow-cooked to perfection in a rich, paprika-infused sauce. This keto-adapted version ensures the sauce is free from flour-based thickeners and is served with appropriate low-carb vegetable accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., shoulder, chuck), onions, garlic, sweet paprika, a small amount of tomato paste, beef broth, red wine (optional), sour cream or crème fraîche, butter or oil, bell peppers, seasonal low-carb vegetables (e.g., cauliflower mash, green beans).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the goulash sauce. Request no traditional high-carb side dishes (e.g., Spätzli, noodles, potatoes, bread dumplings). Ask for a generous portion of green vegetables or a simple side salad.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Beim Züri-Stil Gulasch, ist die Soße ohne Mehl oder Stärke angedickt? Keine kohlenhydratreichen Beilagen wie Spätzli oder Kartoffeln. Ich hätte gerne grünes Gemüse oder einen einfachen Salat dazu.
For the Züri-Stil Gulasch, is the sauce thickened without flour or starch? No high-carb sides like Spätzli or potatoes. I'd like green vegetables or a side salad instead.
Watch out for
Flour is frequently used as a thickener in goulash sauces. Traditional side dishes are invariably high in carbohydrates. Tomato paste, if used in large quantities, adds hidden sugars and carbs.
