Erdélyi Rakott Káposzta (Rizs Nélkül)
Transylvanian Layered Cabbage (Rice-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'rizs nélkül' (without rice) in the layers. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Hungarian food, so watch the portion.

Key ingredients
Sauerkraut, ground pork, ground beef, smoked bacon/pork, onion, Hungarian paprika, sour cream, lard/oil, garlic, caraway seeds, salt, pepper.
