Окрошка на Айране (Кето, без картофеля)
Keto Okroshka with Ayran Base (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly omit potatoes. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Russian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A refreshing cold summer soup featuring a tangy Ayran (fermented dairy drink) base, diced cooked meat (beef, chicken, or doctor's sausage), hard-boiled eggs, fresh cucumber, radishes, and an abundance of fresh dill and parsley. Modified to omit potatoes and traditional kvass.
Key ingredients
Unsweetened Ayran, cooked beef/chicken/keto-friendly sausage, hard-boiled eggs, fresh cucumber, radishes, fresh dill, parsley, salt, sugar-free mustard (optional).
How to make it keto
Strictly omit potatoes. Ensure Ayran is unsweetened and free from starch/sugar. Confirm any sausage used is low-carb/sugar-free. Reduce radish quantity if carb-sensitive.
Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Пожалуйста, без картофеля. Айран несладкий, без крахмала/сахара. Колбаса низкоуглеводная? И редиса поменьше, пожалуйста.
Absolutely no potatoes, please. Confirm Ayran is unsweetened and sugar/starch-free. Is the sausage low-carb? And less radish, please.
Watch out for
