How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, rice, or other carb-heavy sides. Ask for a large serving of cooked chard (blitva) with garlic and olive oil, or a simple green salad (dressing on the side, oil and vinegar).
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Pastrmku na žaru, molim. Bez krompira, pirinča ili drugih ugljenohidratnih priloga. Može li velika blitva sa belim lukom i maslinovim uljem, ili zelena salata (preliv sa strane)?
Pastrmka na žaru, please. No potatoes, rice, or other carb sides. Can I have blitva with garlic and olive oil, or a green salad (dressing on the side)?
