Fried Chicken Liver with Onion (Unbreaded)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely critical to ensure no breading or flour is used on the chicken livers. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Estonian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender and flavorful chicken livers pan-fried to a golden finish, traditionally served with a generous portion of sweet, caramelized onions. A classic, comforting Estonian dish.
Key ingredients
Chicken liver, onion, butter/oil for frying, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Absolutely critical to ensure no breading or flour is used on the chicken livers. Inquire if any sugar is added to the onions for caramelization and request it be omitted. Serve with a simple green salad or steamed keto vegetables instead of common starchy sides.
Say this to the waiter (Estonian)
Palun ärge kasutage maksa jaoks paneeringut ega jahu. Palun ärge lisage sibulatele suhkrut. Lisandiks soovin rohelist salatit või aurutatud keto-köögivilju, ilma kartulita.
No breading or flour on livers. No sugar for onions. Green salad or steamed keto vegetables as a side, no potatoes.
Watch out for
Breading or flour on the liver is a common high-carb risk. Some restaurants add sugar to accelerate onion caramelization. Onions themselves contain moderate carbs, so a very large serving will contribute to the total.
