Pečena Paprika Punjena Mesom (bez Pirinča)
Roasted Peppers Stuffed with Meat (without Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice in the meat filling, which is a standard ingredient. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground beef/pork mix, onion, garlic, tomato paste (unsweetened), paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice in the meat filling, which is a standard ingredient. Ensure the tomato sauce is not sweetened (most traditional Montenegrin sauces are not, but always verify).
Watch out for
Rice in the filling is standard; potential for sugar in tomato sauce.
