Grilled Minced Meat Patties (Ćevapi/Pljeskavica) with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: *omit the lepinja (bread)*. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Montenegrin dishes.
What it is
Hand-formed grilled minced meat patties (Ćevapi are small sausage-shaped, Pljeskavica is a larger round patty), typically a mix of beef, lamb, and/or pork, seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic, then grilled to perfection. Served without the customary bread (lepinja).
Key ingredients
Minced beef (and/or lamb/pork), salt, pepper, garlic, onion (finely minced in meat), often served with raw chopped onion.
How to make it keto
Crucially, *omit the lepinja (bread)*. Ask for a side of raw chopped onion, a small green salad (with oil & vinegar dressing), or grilled keto vegetables (if available).
Watch out for
The main risk is the bread (lepinja). Some recipes might include a small amount of breadcrumbs in the meat mixture, so it's good to inquire. Raw onions also contribute carbs.
