Bravčový Rezeň (Grilovaný/Vyprážaný Bez Strúhanky)
Pork Schnitzel (Grilled/Pan-Fried Unbreaded) with Keto Side
Yes, with a tweak: request the pork cutlet to be unbreaded. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Slovak dishes.
What it is
A thinly pounded cutlet of pork, usually breaded and pan-fried. Modified for a keto diet by requesting it unbreaded and served with a low-carb vegetable side.
Key ingredients
Pork cutlet (loin or leg), salt, black pepper, cooking oil/lard for pan-frying or grilling.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request the pork cutlet to be unbreaded. Ask for it to be either grilled or pan-fried in butter or oil. Replace traditional potato sides (fries, mashed potatoes, potato salad) with steamed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans) or a simple green salad with a keto-friendly dressing.
Watch out for
The breading (strúhanka), potato-based side dishes, flour in any accompanying gravies or sauces.
