Baraní perkelt (Keto verzia)
Lamb Perkelt (Keto Version, without dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour is used for thickening and absolutely no traditional halušky (dumplings) or noodles are served. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and intensely flavorful stew made with tender chunks of lamb, generously slow-cooked with a significant amount of onions, sweet paprika, and a touch of sour cream, simmered until the meat is exceptionally tender.
Key ingredients
Lamb meat (shoulder or leg), onions, sweet paprika, tomato paste (minimal), sour cream, lard/oil, salt, pepper, bay leaf.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour is used for thickening and absolutely no traditional halušky (dumplings) or noodles are served. Request a dollop of sour cream and perhaps a side of pickled gherkins or a fresh green salad.
Watch out for
Onions (can be higher in carbs when used in large quantities), minimal tomato paste. Traditional perkelt is often thickened with flour and served with high-carb sides.
