Zec na Ražnju (s keto povrćem)
Rabbit on a Spit (with keto vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, bread, or other starchy accompaniments. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Croatian dishes.
What it is
A whole rabbit, seasoned with herbs and spices, slowly roasted on a spit over an open flame or in an oven until the meat is incredibly tender and succulent, with a beautifully crisp skin. This method locks in the natural flavors. Traditionally served with potatoes, a keto adaptation requires substituting these with low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Whole rabbit, olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic (optional), sea salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, bread, or other starchy accompaniments. Ask for a side of grilled zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, or steamed greens like spinach or blitva.
