Gulaš
Beef Goulash (Stew) with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no flour thickeners. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, slow-cooked beef stew with tender chunks of beef, rich onions, sweet and hot paprika, garlic, and often a touch of tomato. Prepared without flour thickeners and served with a side of steamed greens or cauliflower mash instead of traditional potato or pasta.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., chuck), onion, garlic, sweet paprika, hot paprika, tomato paste (optional), bay leaf, caraway seeds, beef broth, olive oil/lard.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no flour thickeners. Omit traditional sides like pasta, gnocchi, or potatoes. Request keto-friendly sides.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Molim Gulaš. Bez brašna za zgušnjavanje. I bez tjestenine, njoka ili krumpira. Možete li ponuditi keto priloge?
I'd like the Gulaš. Please, no flour thickeners. And no pasta, gnocchi, or potatoes as sides. Can I have keto-friendly sides instead?
Watch out for
High-carb vegetables (onions, potential carrots), flour thickeners, hidden sugars in tomato paste, traditional high-carb sides.
