Töltött Cukkini (Keto Töltelékkel)
Stuffed Zucchini with Keto Filling
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice or breadcrumbs in the meat filling. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Hungarian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh zucchini halves hollowed out and generously filled with a savory mixture of minced pork and beef, seasoned with Hungarian paprika, garlic, and herbs. The filling is prepared without rice or breadcrumbs, baked in a light tomato-paprika sauce and often finished with a dollop of sour cream.
Key ingredients
Zucchini, ground pork, ground beef, onion, garlic, eggs, paprika, salt, pepper, tomato paste (small amount), sour cream, caraway seeds, parsley.
How to make it keto
