Keto Placek z Gulaszem (z Plackiem Warzywnym)
Keto Hungarian Pancake with Goulash (Vegetable Pancake)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure pancake is made from low-carb vegetables or cheese/egg mixture instead of potatoes. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Polish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty portion of rich beef goulash (slow-cooked beef in a savory, slightly spiced sauce) served atop a large, pan-fried keto-friendly vegetable pancake (e.g., made from cauliflower, zucchini, or a cheese/egg base). This dish offers the comforting flavors of the classic 'placek po węgiersku' without the high-carb potato pancake.
Key ingredients
Beef shoulder/chuck, onions, bell peppers (small amount), mushrooms, tomato paste (minimal), spices (paprika, cumin, bay leaf, marjoram), beef broth, heavy cream, butter, cauliflower/zucchini/cheese for pancake, eggs, cream cheese, herbs (parsley, chives).
How to make it keto
Ensure pancake is made from low-carb vegetables or cheese/egg mixture instead of potatoes. Goulash must be free of any flour thickeners or hidden sugars. Confirm minimal onion/bell pepper in goulash sauce to manage carb count.
Say this to the waiter (Polish)
Poproszę Keto Placek. Czy placek jest z warzyw/sera/jajek, bez ziemniaków? Gulasz bez mąki, cukru, z minimalną cebulą i papryką.
For the Keto Placek, please confirm the pancake is low-carb, not potato. Goulash should have no flour or sugar, and minimal onion/pepper.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in tomato paste, flour/starch thickeners in goulash, high-carb vegetables in goulash (e.g., excessive bell peppers, carrots), traditional potato pancake.
