Punjeni Plavi Patlidžan sa Mlevenim Mesom i Sirom (Keto Verzija)
Stuffed Eggplant with Minced Meat and Cheese (Keto Version)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no rice or breadcrumbs are used in the stuffing. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Serbian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Halved eggplants are hollowed out and filled with a savory mixture of minced meat (often beef or a mix), onions, bell peppers, a minimal amount of tomato, and herbs, topped with cheese, then baked until tender. The keto version ensures no rice or breadcrumbs in the stuffing.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, minced beef/pork, onion, bell pepper, tomato (minimal), olive oil, Kačkavalj cheese (or similar hard cheese), salt, black pepper, fresh parsley.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no rice or breadcrumbs are used in the stuffing. Ensure only a minimal amount of tomato is used in the filling.
