What it is
A rustic and flavorful keto adaptation of a beloved Bulgarian winter dish. Dried red peppers are rehydrated and generously filled with a savory mixture of minced meat (pork/beef), crumbled sirene cheese, eggs, and herbs, then baked until tender.
Key ingredients
Dried red peppers, minced meat (pork/beef), Bulgarian sirene cheese, eggs, onions, garlic, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, red paprika, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, no rice in the filling. Ensure minimal onion/garlic or discuss substitution if high quantities.
Say this to the waiter (Bulgarian)
Моля, плънката да е без ориз. Може ли да попитам колко лук и чесън има?
No rice in the filling, please. Can you confirm the amount of onion and garlic?
Watch out for
Traditional recipes always include rice. Dried peppers themselves have some carbs, but generally within keto limits for a serving. Small amount of onions.
