Bravčový Perkelt (bez cestoviny)
Pork Paprika Stew (without pasta)
Yes, with a tweak: request it served without pasta (galušky) or dumplings. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting pork stew characterized by its rich paprika-infused sauce, often finished with sour cream. By omitting the traditional pasta or dumplings, it becomes a flavorful keto option.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/leg, onions, paprika, garlic, tomato paste, sour cream, lard/cooking oil, water/broth.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request it served without pasta (galušky) or dumplings. Confirm minimal or no flour is used as a thickener in the sauce, or ask for a thinner sauce. Ensure no added sugar in the tomato paste.
