Кето Окрошка (на квасе, без картофеля и сахара)
Keto Okroshka (Kvass-based, no potatoes, sugar-free)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely critical to ensure the kvass used is sugar-free. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Russian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A refreshing cold soup made with a traditional kvass base, finely diced cooked meats (beef, chicken, or sausage), hard-boiled eggs, radishes, fresh cucumbers, and plenty of fresh dill and green onions. The kvass must be sugar-free to be keto-compliant.
Key ingredients
Sugar-free kvass (or a low-carb substitute like pickle brine/water blend), cooked beef/chicken/sausage, hard-boiled eggs, radishes, cucumbers, fresh dill, green onions, sour cream (for serving), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Absolutely critical to ensure the kvass used is sugar-free. If not available, ask for a sour cream/kefir base (if not already excluded). Omit potatoes entirely.
Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Кето Окрошка, пожалуйста. Квас без сахара? Если нет, можно на сметане или кефире? И без картофеля, пожалуйста.
Кето Окрошка, please. Is the kvass sugar-free? If not, can it be made with a sour cream or kefir base? And no potatoes, please.
