Keto Skradinski Rižot (s rižom od cvjetače)
Skradin-Style Beef "Risotto" (with Cauliflower Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm that cauliflower rice is used instead of arborio rice. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto rendition of the famous Skradinski Rižot, a beef 'risotto' known for its exceptionally long cooking time (up to 12 hours). This version replaces traditional rice with cauliflower rice, slow-cooked with tender beef, root vegetables (in moderation), and a rich beef broth to achieve a similar creamy texture and deep flavor.
Key ingredients
Beef (veal shank or similar cut), cauliflower rice, yellow onions, carrots (minimal), celery root (minimal), olive oil, beef broth, red wine (cooked off), hard cheese (e.g., Grana Padano), salt, black pepper, nutmeg.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that cauliflower rice is used instead of arborio rice. Request no added flour or starch for thickening. Ensure carrots/celery are used sparingly for flavor, not bulk.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Molim potvrdite da je Keto Skradinski Rižot s rižom od cvjetače, bez brašna ili škroba. Mrkva i celer samo za okus.
For the Keto Skradinski Rižot, please confirm it's made with cauliflower rice, no flour or starch for thickening. Carrots/celery only for flavor.
Watch out for
Traditional version is high-carb due to rice. Keto version still carries carb risks from onions, carrots, and celery root if used in excess. Potential for flour-based thickeners in less authentic preparations.
