About this category

German cooking is built on meat, cabbage, dairy and potatoes, and only the last of these needs replacing on keto. A bratwurst and sauerkraut skillet is low-carb almost by default, and goulash soup with beef works just as well without the usual potatoes. For the beloved Bratkartoffeln, cauliflower, daikon or radishes are sliced and fried until golden, and a farmer's breakfast swaps potatoes for celeriac.

A large part of this category is devoted to Handkase, a tangy sour milk cheese from the Hesse region. It is very low in fat yet high in protein, so pairing it with oil, butter or bacon fits keto well. Classic Handkase with music comes with a vinegar and onion marinade, and the many variations here range from baked and air fryer versions to marinades with mustard or pumpkin seed oil.

Bread is the other big gap, and recipes like a keto bread modeled on German loaves or flaxseed rolls fill it with seeds, almond flour and psyllium husk. When buying sausages, check the label for added sugar, dextrose or starch. Sauerkraut should be the plain fermented kind without sugar, and it keeps for weeks in the fridge once opened.
