Key ingredients
Pork blood, pork fat (e.g., belly, jowl), onions, marjoram, black pepper, salt. Pork skin can be included for texture.
How to make it keto
Explicitly confirm that it is prepared without 'kasza' (buckwheat groats) or rice. Traditional kaszanka is commonly served with high-carb items like potatoes or bread, so request low-carb alternatives like sauerkraut or pickles.
Say this to the waiter (Polish)
Czy Keto Kaszanka (Bez Kaszy) jest bez kaszy i ryżu? Poproszę z kiszoną kapustą lub ogórkami, zamiast ziemniaków czy pieczywa.
Is the Keto Kaszanka (Bez Kaszy) made without groats or rice? Can I have it with sauerkraut or pickles instead of potatoes/bread?
Watch out for
The primary risk is the inclusion of buckwheat groats or rice, which are fundamental to the traditional dish. Ensure specific preparation 'bez kaszy'. Hidden sugars in seasoning blends. High-carb accompaniments (potatoes, bread).
