Jetra na Saftu
Liver in Sauce (Keto-style)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender slices of beef liver (or veal/pork, depending on region) quickly pan-fried and then simmered in a simple, savory sauce often featuring caramelized onions and fresh parsley.
Key ingredients
Beef liver, olive oil/butter, onions (minimal), garlic, white wine or broth, fresh parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. Request minimal onions. Ask for a side of steamed low-carb vegetables instead of mashed potatoes or polenta.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Je li umak zgusnut brašnom? Minimalno luka, molim. Mogu li dobiti kuhano niskougljikohidratno povrće umjesto pirea ili palente?
Is the sauce flour-thickened? Minimal onions, please. Can I get steamed low-carb vegetables instead of mashed potatoes or polenta?
Watch out for
Flour thickeners in the sauce. Excessive amounts of caramelized onions (which can add sugar). Served with high-carb sides.
