Svadbarski Kupus (Keto Modificiran)
Keto Wedding Cabbage Stew
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or rice in the stew. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bosnian/Herzegovinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A festive, slow-cooked stew made with layers of sauerkraut and various meats (pork, beef, often smoked meats like 'suho meso'). It's simmered for hours until the cabbage is incredibly tender and the flavors meld. Keto modification involves omitting potatoes or rice, which are sometimes added.
Key ingredients
Sauerkraut, pork ribs/shoulder, beef, smoked meat (suho meso), onions, garlic, paprika, bay leaf, black pepper, lard or oil, water/broth.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes or rice in the stew. Ensure no flour is used to thicken the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Bosnian)
Molim vas, bez krompira ili riže u kupusu, i da se umak ne zgušnjava brašnom.
Please ensure no potatoes or rice are in the stew, and no flour is used to thicken it.
Watch out for
Potatoes/rice included by default, flour in thickening agent, small amount of sugar to balance sauerkraut acidity (less common in savory versions).
