Смажанка (Кето без цеста)
Keto Smazhanka (Crustless Meat & Cheese Bake)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly order 'crustless.' Confirm no flour thickeners in the meat mixture or sauces. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belarusian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty baked dish reimagined for keto, featuring a generous topping of savory ground meat (typically pork or beef), sautéed mushrooms, onions, and a rich layer of melted cheese, served without the traditional bread or dough base. Essentially, the delicious topping of a Belarusian open-faced pie, baked in a dish.
Key ingredients
Ground pork/beef, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers (optional), cheese (e.g., Gouda, mozzarella), sour cream or tomato paste (minimal), eggs, salt, pepper, butter/oil.
How to make it keto
Explicitly order 'crustless.' Confirm no flour thickeners in the meat mixture or sauces. Request minimal onion.
Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Смажанка, пожалуйста, без теста. Уточните, нет ли муки в мясной начинке или соусе. И сделайте, пожалуйста, с минимумом лука.
I'd like the Смажанка crustless. Confirm no flour thickeners in the meat or sauces. Use minimal onion, please.
Watch out for
Traditional dough base, flour/starch in meat mixture or sauce, sugary tomato paste, excessive onion.
