Pljeskavica Punjena Sirom (bez hleba i priloga)
Cheese-Stuffed Grilled Minced Meat Patty (Keto-style)
Yes, with a tweak: like regular Pljeskavica, it must be ordered without the lepinja (flatbread) and any potato-based sides. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A large, seasoned minced meat patty, often made from beef and pork, grilled and generously stuffed with melted cheese (typically a local hard cheese or kajmak).
Key ingredients
Minced beef/pork, local hard cheese/kajmak, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika
How to make it keto
Like regular Pljeskavica, it must be ordered without the lepinja (flatbread) and any potato-based sides. Request a simple green salad (oil and vinegar) or grilled low-carb vegetables instead.
