What it is
Tangy green tomatoes hollowed out and generously filled with a mixture of seasoned minced meat and finely riced cauliflower, then baked in a savory sauce. A delicious keto take on a traditional Romanian stuffed vegetable dish, distinct from stuffed peppers.
Key ingredients
Green tomatoes, minced pork/beef, cauliflower rice, onions, garlic, fresh dill, parsley, tomato paste (unsweetened), salt, pepper, cooking oil.
If you order it anyway
Ensure cauliflower rice is used instead of traditional rice, and confirm tomato paste has no added sugar. Request extra cooking oil for richness.
If you order it anyway, say this (Romanian)
Vă rog să confirmați că se folosește orez de conopidă și pastă de roșii fără zahăr. Aș dori ulei extra.
Confirm cauliflower rice is used, and tomato paste has no added sugar. Please add extra cooking oil.
Watch out for
Use of regular rice instead of cauliflower, added sugar in tomato sauce, use of other high-carb vegetables in the filling.
