Goveđi Gulaš
Beef Goulash
Yes, with a tweak: order 'bez krompira' (without potatoes) or pasta. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bosnian/Herzegovinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty stew made with chunks of beef, slow-cooked in a rich sauce flavored with paprika, onions, and sometimes tomatoes. Traditionally served with cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles.
Key ingredients
Beef chunks, generous onions, paprika, tomato paste/puree, garlic, oil, beef broth, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Order 'bez krompira' (without potatoes) or pasta. Inquire if flour is used as a thickener; ideally, it should be naturally thickened by slow cooking and vegetables. Expect higher carbs from the significant onion and tomato content.
Say this to the waiter (Bosnian)
Goveđi Gulaš bih bez krompira ili tjestenine. Je li zgusnut brašnom?
Goveđi Gulaš, please, without potatoes or pasta. Is it thickened with flour?
Watch out for
Flour thickeners (common in restaurant goulash), large quantities of slow-cooked onions, tomato paste/puree (adds sugar and carbs), potatoes/pasta (major carb source).
