Gratin d'Aubergines et Viande Hachée (Keto)
Keto Minced Meat and Eggplant Gratin
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly confirm no potatoes, rice, breadcrumbs, or béchamel sauce. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A hearty baked casserole featuring layers of tender, pan-fried or baked eggplant slices, a savory minced beef or lamb mixture, and a rich, spice-infused sauce (with minimal tomato), all topped with a generous layer of melted cheese. This keto adaptation ensures no potatoes, rice, breadcrumbs, or flour-based béchamel are used.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, minced beef or lamb, olive oil, onion (moderate), garlic, bell peppers, tomato paste (minimal), spices (cumin, coriander, paprika), eggs (as a binder), natural cheese (e.g., mozzarella, cheddar), fresh parsley, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly confirm no potatoes, rice, breadcrumbs, or béchamel sauce. Request minimal tomato paste to keep carbs low, or a cream/egg-based binder. Ensure cheese is natural and sugar-free.
