Raštan (with smoked meat)
Collard Greens Stew (with Smoked Pork)
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A deeply traditional Montenegrin stew featuring collard greens (raštan) slow-cooked with flavorful smoked meat, usually smoked pork ribs or ham hocks. The long cooking process renders the greens tender and infused with the rich, smoky taste of the pork, making it naturally keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Collard greens (raštan), smoked pork ribs/ham hocks, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Generally keto-friendly, but confirm no potatoes ('bez krompira') have been added to the stew, which is sometimes done in regional variations.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Raštan bez krompira, molim.
I'd like the Raštan without potatoes, please.
Watch out for
While usually low-carb, some versions might include a few potatoes in the stew. Check for any unexpected sweetening agents.
