What it is
A simple yet delicious pan-fried pork cutlet, traditionally breaded. For a keto version, the pork is pan-fried in generous amounts of fat (lard or oil) without any breading, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, allowing the natural flavor of the pork to shine.
Key ingredients
Pork loin or tenderloin, cooking oil (lard, sunflower, or rapeseed oil), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request the pork cutlet to be pan-fried WITHOUT any breading (bez trojobalu). Ensure it's not served with potato salad or mashed potatoes; ask for a side salad with oil and vinegar, or steamed vegetables like green beans or broccoli.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)

Watch out for
The traditional 'trojobal' (flour, egg, breadcrumbs) is high carb. Restaurants often serve it with potato-based sides (fries, potato salad, boiled potatoes). Some pre-seasoned pork might have sugar.
