Dagnje na buzaru
Mussels Buzara Style in Tomato-Wine Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh mussels cooked in a flavorful Montenegrin 'buzara' sauce, typically made with white wine, garlic, olive oil, and a touch of tomato. This version ensures the sauce is prepared to be low-carb.
Key ingredients
Mussels, dry white wine, olive oil, garlic, parsley, crushed tomatoes (minimal, unsweetened), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. Request minimal tomato or ensure canned tomatoes have no added sugar. Avoid any bread for dipping.
