Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no lepinja (bread). About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Grilled minced meat (often a mix of beef, lamb, pork), shaped into small sausages (ćevapi) or a large patty (pljeskavica). Traditionally served with lepinja (flatbread) and raw onion.
Key ingredients
Ground beef/lamb/pork, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika (optional). Raw white onion for garnish.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no lepinja (bread). Ensure no breadcrumbs or fillers in the meat mixture (uncommon for authentic versions). Request extra raw onion.
Watch out for
Lepinja (flatbread) is the main carb risk. Ajvar (red pepper relish) often contains sugar. Some cheaper versions might have breadcrumbs as a filler in the meat.
