Păstrăv cu Conopidă Măcinată (în Loc de Mămăligă)
Trout with Keto Cauliflower Polenta
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the trout is simply grilled or pan-fried with oil/butter and herbs. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Romanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh, pan-fried or grilled trout served with a keto-friendly 'polenta' made from finely riced cauliflower, providing a low-carb alternative to the traditional cornmeal.
Key ingredients
Whole trout, cauliflower, butter, cream, garlic, fresh dill, olive oil or butter for cooking, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure the trout is simply grilled or pan-fried with oil/butter and herbs. The 'mămăligă' should be entirely replaced with a cauliflower-based alternative, made with butter and cream. No flour in sauce/seasoning.
