How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice or flour as fillers. Some traditional recipes inherently include these. Ensure the restaurant uses a keto-compliant recipe or prepares it without high-carb binders.
Say this to the waiter (Romanian)
Sângerete, vă rog să vă asigurați că nu se folosește orez sau făină ca umplutură. Am nevoie de o preparare keto.
Sângerete, please ensure no rice or flour is used as filler. I need a keto-compliant preparation.
Watch out for
Traditional Sângerete almost always contains rice, bread, or flour as a binder. Hidden sugars in spice mixes are also a small risk. Ensure no high-carb accompaniments like bread or polenta.
