Chunks of marinated meat (often pork or veal/beef, sometimes mixed with bell peppers and onions) skewered and grilled. A popular Balkan dish, served keto by omitting traditional carb sides.
Key ingredients
Pork or veal/beef chunks, bell peppers, onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika.
How to make it keto
Ensure no bread (hleb) or fries (pomfrit) are served. Request a side of grilled vegetables (grilovano povrće) like zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers, or a fresh green salad.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Molim vas, Ražnjići bez hleba i pomfrita. Kao prilog bih grilovano povrće.
Please serve the Ražnjići without bread or fries. I'd like a side of grilled vegetables instead.
Watch out for
Marinating sauces might contain sugar (less common in traditional Balkan ražnjići, but possible). Avoid sugary glazes. The primary risk is high-carb sides.
