Pileći/Svinjski Ražnjići
Chicken/Pork Skewers
Yes, with a tweak: request 'samo meso, bez povrća na ražnjiću' (only meat, no vegetables on the skewer) if you want to minimize carbs from peppers/onions. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Serbian dishes.
What it is
Skewers of marinated chicken breast or pork loin pieces, grilled until tender and slightly charred.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast or pork loin, cooking oil, salt, pepper, paprika. (Often with bell peppers and onions on the skewer, or served with fries/rice).
How to make it keto
Request 'samo meso, bez povrća na ražnjiću' (only meat, no vegetables on the skewer) if you want to minimize carbs from peppers/onions. Definitely 'bez priloga' (no sides like fries/rice). Inquire about marinades for hidden sugars (unlikely for traditional simple skewers, but possible).
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Ražnjiće, molim. Samo meso na ražnjiću, bez povrća i priloga. Da li marinada sadrži šećer?
Ražnjići, please. Only meat on the skewer, no vegetables or any sides. Is there sugar in the marinade?
Watch out for
Bell peppers and onions on the skewer, hidden sugars in marinades (though usually simple for Serbian skewers), high-carb side dishes.
