Key ingredients
Pork shoulder, leeks, onions, tomatoes (optional), vegetable oil or pork fat, spices (paprika, black pepper, savory).
If you order it anyway
Ensure no flour is used as a thickener for the stew. Be mindful of the portion size of leeks if you are strict on carb intake, as leeks contain more carbs than other non-starchy vegetables. Decline any bread.
