Cabbage with Smoked Meat Stew
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional Montenegrin hearty stew featuring sour cabbage (sauerkraut) slow-cooked with various smoked pork cuts (ribs, belly, or hock), onions, and spices, creating a rich and savory dish.
Key ingredients
Sour cabbage (sauerkraut), smoked pork ribs/belly/meat, onions, garlic, lard or oil, paprika, bay leaf, pepper.
Optional tweaks
None needed. Ensure no potatoes or other non-keto thickeners are used (uncommon for this dish but worth clarifying).
Watch out for
While largely keto, some non-traditional recipes might add a potato for starch or use flour as a thickener; confirm simple preparation. The sauerkraut itself contains natural carbs, which are accounted for.
