What it is
A rich and savory traditional Romanian stew made primarily with generous amounts of slowly caramelized onions and tender chunks of pork or beef, simmered with herbs and spices. Modified to be keto by omitting flour-based thickeners and any added sugar, ensuring a deeply flavorful, low-carb dish.
Key ingredients
Pork/Beef chunks, large yellow onions, lard or cooking oil, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, salt, paprika, optional small amount of bell pepper/tomato for color.
If you order it anyway
Confirm no flour is used as a thickener and no sugar is added to the onions during caramelization. Request heavy-handed use of fat for cooking.
If you order it anyway, say this (Romanian)
Vă rog să confirmați că nu se folosește făină sau zahăr. Aș dori cu multă grăsime.
Please confirm no flour or sugar is used. Could I have extra fat in the cooking?
Watch out for
Hidden flour for thickening, added sugar to caramelize onions, excessive use of higher-carb vegetables like carrots or potatoes if not specified.
