Cūkgaļas tauki ar ķiplokiem un dillēm
Rendered Pork Fat Spread with Garlic and Dill
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Latvian dishes.
What it is
A traditional, intensely savory spread made from slowly rendered pork fat (lard), infused with generous amounts of fresh garlic and aromatic dill. This is typically served as an appetizer or condiment, without bread for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Pork fat (lard), fresh garlic, fresh dill, salt.
Optional tweaks
Crucially, ensure no bread, toast, or high-carb crackers are served alongside. It's a pure fat spread meant to be eaten as is, or with low-carb alternatives if desired.
