Cūkgaļas cepetis ar krējuma mērci un tvaicētiem dārzeņiem
Roast Pork with Cream Sauce and Steamed Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ask for no potatoes, rice, or other starchy sides. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Latvian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic Latvian roast pork, slowly cooked until exceptionally tender and juicy, served with a rich, creamy sauce and a generous portion of steamed low-carb vegetables. The cream sauce is prepared without flour for a keto-friendly option.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/loin, heavy cream, pork/chicken broth, onion, garlic, herbs (caraway, bay leaf), steamed broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for no potatoes, rice, or other starchy sides. Confirm the cream sauce is made without flour or starch thickeners. Request a side of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans.
Say this to the waiter (Latvian)
Lūdzu, bez kartupeļiem, rīsiem vai citām cieti saturošām piedevām. Vai krējuma mērce ir bez miltiem un cietes? Vai varu lūdzu tvaicētus brokoļus, puķkāpostus vai zaļās pupiņas?
No potatoes, rice, or other starchy sides, please. Is the cream sauce made without flour or starch? Can I have steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans instead?
Watch out for
Traditional carb-heavy sides (potatoes, rice), gravy thickened with flour, sugary glazes, carrots in the sauce.
