Key ingredients
Minced beef/pork, salt, pepper, paprika, raw onion, kajmak.
How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Keto Pljeskavicu molim bez lepinje. Mogu li dobiti više kajmaka i sirovog luka sa strane?
I'd like the Keto Pljeskavica without lepinja. Can I have extra kajmak and raw onions on the side?
Watch out for
Lepinja (bread), potential breadcrumbs or fillers in the patty (rare but possible). Confirm the patty is pure meat. Ensure kajmak is not sweetened.
