Kimchi is not a high-fat side, but fermented foods are a healthy addition to any diet, including a ketogenic diet. To make kimchi part of your keto-adapted lifestyle, just make sure to eat it with foods that are high in fat, such as seared pork belly. Another thing you could do is mix in 2 tablespoons of Spicy Mayo just before serving to increase the fat ratio. Think of it as a creamy, spicy slaw of sorts.

Sauerkraut is not a high-fat side, but fermented foods are a healthy addition to any diet, including a ketogenic diet. To make sauerkraut part of your keto-adapted lifestyle, just make sure to eat it with foods that are high in fat, such as brats, as a true German like myself would.

This recipe is extremely easy to make. It uses smoked ham hock steaks. Because they’re already cooked, all you need to do is heat them up until their skin gets crispy (though they taste great cold, too). Just remember to make the mustard the day before you plan to eat the hocks. It needs time in the fridge to allow the flavors to develop.

When making sausage, homemade bone broth is much preferable to store-bought broth, but store bought broth will work. Serve with the keto dipping sauces of your choice.

This dish uses cultivated mushrooms that originate from Japan. They are widely available in supermarkets, but cremini mushrooms can be substituted, if necessary.
