Mish Gici i Zgarës me Erëza
Grilled Pork with Herbs
Yes, keto as served. About 1g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Albanian dishes.
What it is
Tender and flavorful cuts of pork (often shoulder or loin) marinated simply in olive oil and aromatic Mediterranean herbs like oregano and garlic, then expertly grilled to achieve a smoky char and juicy interior.
Key ingredients
Pork meat, olive oil, oregano, garlic, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades or sauces are used. Request with low-carb vegetable sides only (e.g., grilled zucchini, eggplant) if available, and explicitly omit any high-carb sides.
Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Pa marinada ose salca me sheqer, ju lutem. Nëse ka, dua perime të zgarës me pak karbohidrate si shoqëruese, pa shoqërues me karbohidrate të larta.
No sugary marinades or sauces, please. If available, I'd like low-carb grilled vegetables as a side, no high-carb sides.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, non-keto sides (e.g., fries, rice, bread). Always confirm marinade ingredients.
