Žvėrienos troškinys su baravykais ir grietinėle (be šakninių daržovių)
Game Meat Stew with Porcini Mushrooms and Cream (no root vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour is used to thicken the stew, and explicitly request no root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, celery root) or peas. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Lithuanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and deeply flavored stew made with tender chunks of game meat (such as venison or wild boar), slowly simmered with aromatic porcini mushrooms, onions, and garlic, then finished with a generous amount of heavy cream for a luscious texture. Prepared without traditional potato or carrot thickeners.
Key ingredients
Game meat (e.g., venison, wild boar), porcini mushrooms, heavy cream, onions (minimal), garlic, butter or cooking oil, bay leaf, allspice, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour is used to thicken the stew, and explicitly request no root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, celery root) or peas. Specify minimal onion to reduce carb count.
Watch out for
Flour thickeners for the stew; inclusion of high-carb root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips) or peas; hidden sugars in sauces.
