Salcë me Speca të Pjekura dhe Djathë
Roasted Pepper and Cheese Dip
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugar is added to enhance sweetness. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Albanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A vibrant and creamy dip made from roasted bell peppers (typically red or green), blended with soft, tangy white cheese (such as feta or gjizë), rich olive oil, and fresh garlic. Perfect for dipping keto-friendly vegetables.
Key ingredients
Roasted bell peppers, feta cheese or gjizë, olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, vinegar (optional).
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to enhance sweetness. Request without any bread or breadsticks for dipping. Opt for raw vegetables like cucumber or celery instead.
Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Pa sheqer në salcë, ju lutem. Pa bukë apo shkopinj buke. A mund të kem perime të papërpunuara si kastravec ose selino për të zhytur?
No sugar in the sauce, please. No bread or breadsticks. Can I have raw vegetables like cucumber or celery for dipping instead?
Watch out for
Added sugar for taste (especially if peppers are caramelized), potential high-carb binders, always served with bread in traditional settings.
