Kunić u umaku od vrhnja i gljiva
Rabbit in Cream and Mushroom Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: omit traditional starchy sides like polenta, gnocchi, or pasta. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender rabbit meat slowly cooked in a rich, creamy sauce with sautéed mushrooms and herbs. A hearty and flavorful dish, traditionally served with starchy sides, but easily adapted for a keto diet by omitting them.
Key ingredients
Rabbit meat, heavy cream, mushrooms (e.g., champignons or porcini), onion, garlic, olive oil/butter, fresh parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Omit traditional starchy sides like polenta, gnocchi, or pasta. Request it served with a low-carb vegetable such as blitva (Swiss chard), asparagus, or cauliflower mash. Confirm no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce.
