Praetud veisemaks sibula ja peekoniga (kartulita)
Pan-Fried Beef Liver with Onions and Bacon (Potato-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or other starchy sides. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Estonian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender pan-fried slices of beef liver, typically served with sweet caramelized onions and crispy bacon. For a keto adaptation, this rich and flavorful dish is served without the traditional potato accompaniment, focusing solely on the savory liver, onion, and bacon.
Key ingredients
Beef liver, yellow onions, bacon, butter or lard, salt, black pepper, (optional: splash of heavy cream or beef broth for a light sauce).
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or other starchy sides. Ensure no flour is used to dust the liver before frying. Request that onions are not overly caramelized with added sugar, or ask for lightly cooked onions instead.
Say this to the waiter (Estonian)
Praetud veisemaksa juurde palun ilma kartuli või tärkliserikaste lisanditeta. Veenduge, et maksal poleks jahu. Kas sibulad võiksid olla kergelt küpsetatud, ilma lisasuhkruta?
