What it is
A flavorful and tender pork hock (knuckle) slow-cooked until falling off the bone, often braised with vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery, and sometimes white wine or beer. The rich, fatty meat is naturally keto. Ensure no sugary glazes are used and serve with low-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Pork hock, carrots (small amount), celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf, white wine or broth, salt, pepper, served with sauerkraut or steamed green vegetables.
How to make it keto
Confirm no sugary glazes or thickeners are used in the braising liquid. Request it served with sauerkraut (naturally keto) or steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans, instead of potatoes or legumes.
Watch out for
Potential sugary glazes, flour thickeners in the sauce, and high-carb side dishes like potatoes or lentils. Carrots in the braising liquid add minimal carbs but should be noted.
