How to make it keto
Absolutely essential to omit the `lepinja` (flatbread). Request a side of raw chopped onions and a small portion of `ajvar` (red pepper spread), ensuring it's sugar-free. Ask for a simple green salad as an additional side.
Watch out for
The `lepinja` (flatbread) is the primary carb. Some `ajvar` recipes may contain added sugar, so verify with the restaurant. Excessive onion can add carbs.
