Cepts cūkas stilbs ar skābētiem kāpostiem (keto versija)
Roasted Pork Knuckle with Sauerkraut (Keto Modified)

Pork knuckle, sauerkraut, onions, garlic, bay leaves, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, lard or cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Omit any potato sides (boiled, mashed, fried). Ensure no sugar is added to sauerkraut during preparation (common in some restaurants). Request extra cooking fat/butter if desired.
