How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm the stuffing does NOT contain rice, breadcrumbs, or other starches. Request it be served with a simple green salad (dressing with oil and vinegar) instead of any carb-heavy sides. Ask to avoid any sugary glaze or sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Je li nadjev u punjenim lignjama bez riže, krušnih mrvica ili škroba? Poslužite sa zelenom salatom (ulje/ocat), bez slatkih preljeva.
Does the stuffed squid have no rice, breadcrumbs, or starch in the filling? Serve with green salad, oil & vinegar. No sugary glaze.
Watch out for
Traditional stuffing often includes rice or breadcrumbs. White wine in cooking can add minimal carbs; request dry wine if possible. Ensure no sweet glazes.
