Bravčová Pečienka s Kyslou Kapustou
Roast Pork with Sauerkraut (No Dumplings/Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no dumplings (knedľa) or potatoes. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Pork loin or shoulder, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, garlic, lard/oil. Sauerkraut, onions, duck fat/lard, caraway seeds.
How to make it keto
