How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. Request minimal root vegetables in the braising liquid. Serve with a side of simple steamed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans) or a plain green salad instead of potatoes or pasta.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Molim bez brašna ili škroba u umaku. Minimalno korjenastog povrća. Umjesto krumpira/tjestenine, molim kuhano zeleno povrće ili zelenu salatu.
No flour/starch in the sauce, please. Minimal root vegetables. Can I get steamed green vegetables or a green salad instead of potatoes/pasta?
Watch out for
Flour-based thickeners in the sauce. Excessive use of high-carb root vegetables (carrots, potatoes) in the braising liquid. Served with polenta or potato dishes.
