How to make it keto
Ensure no high-carb fillings are used (e.g., prunes soaked in sugar, breadcrumbs). Ask that the braising liquid or sauce is not thickened with flour or starch. Confirm pickles are sugar-free.
Watch out for
Potential for hidden sugar in pickles or broth. Flour or starch used as a thickener in the sauce. Some recipes might include carby vegetables or prunes in the filling.
