Roasted Wild Boar with Herbs
Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Albanian dishes.
What it is
Succulent pieces of wild boar meat, often sourced from local forests, slow-roasted with robust mountain herbs like rosemary and thyme, garlic, and sometimes a splash of red wine, resulting in tender, deeply flavorful meat.
Key ingredients
Wild boar meat, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, red wine (optional), salt, black pepper, bay leaf.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other high-carb root vegetables are included in the roasting pan. Confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken any accompanying sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Ju lutem, pa patate, karota apo perime rrënjë. A trashëset salca pa miell apo niseshte?
Please, no potatoes, carrots, or root vegetables. Is the sauce thickened without flour or starch?
Watch out for
Red wine (if not fully evaporated), small amounts of root vegetables sometimes used in the roasting liquid, potential thickeners in pan drippings.
