Key ingredients
Venison (deer) meat, onions, lard/oil, paprika, garlic, caraway, marjoram, beef broth, (optional: mushrooms, red wine).
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. Ask for no dumplings (knedlíky) or potatoes. Request a side of plain sautéed green vegetables or unsweetened braised cabbage.
Say this to the waiter (Czech)
Prosím, ujistěte se, že omáčka není zahuštěná moukou ani škrobem. Bez knedlíků a brambor. Místo toho dušenou zeleninu nebo neslazené zelí.
Confirm sauce is not thickened with flour/starch. No dumplings or potatoes. Side of plain green vegetables or unsweetened braised cabbage, please.
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners in the goulash sauce. Hidden sugars from tomato paste or vegetables. Some restaurants might add root vegetables (carrots, celery) to the base, which can add carbs.
