Разградена Сарма со месо и без ориз
Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls with Minced Meat and No Rice
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely crucial to request NO RICE. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Macedonian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly take on the classic Sarma, this dish features tender, tangy sauerkraut leaves simmered with savory minced pork and/or beef, onions, garlic, and paprika in a rich, flavorful broth, but without the high-carb rice. Served as a deconstructed stew.
Key ingredients
Sauerkraut leaves, minced pork and/or beef, onion, garlic, olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, rich broth.
