Keto Montenegrin Stuffed Collard/Sour Cabbage Rolls
Yes, with a tweak: request cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A Montenegrin variant of stuffed rolls, typically using blanched collard greens or fermented sour cabbage leaves. These are filled with a mixture of minced meat (beef/pork), onions, and spices. For a keto version, the traditional rice is replaced with cauliflower rice, and they are slow-cooked in a savory, often tomato-based, broth.
Key ingredients
Collard greens/sour cabbage leaves, minced beef/pork, onions, garlic, cauliflower rice, tomato paste (optional), smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, pepper, broth.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. Confirm no sugar is added to the sauce/broth.
Watch out for
The defining carb, rice, must be replaced; hidden sugars in tomato sauce (if used); flour thickeners for the sauce.
