Crni Rižot (Keto Karfiol Rižot)
Keto Cauliflower Black Risotto with Squid Ink and Seafood
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request *cauliflower rice* instead of traditional rice (karfiol riža umjesto obične riže). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly reimagining of the classic Montenegrin black risotto. Instead of rice, riced cauliflower is cooked with tender squid or cuttlefish and their ink, along with onion, garlic, and Parmesan, for a rich, savory, and visually striking dish.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower rice, squid/cuttlefish, squid ink, onion, garlic, olive oil, butter, fish broth, dry white wine (small amount, mostly evaporated), Parmesan cheese, parsley.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request *cauliflower rice* instead of traditional rice (karfiol riža umjesto obične riže). Confirm no flour or other starches are used as thickeners.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Crni Rižot, molim vas sa karfiol rižom umesto obične. I da sos nije zgušnjavana brašnom ili skrobom.
For the Crni Rižot, please make it with cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. And confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener.
Watch out for
Regular rice (major risk), flour thickeners, excessive white wine (though most sugar evaporates), added sugar.
