Bravčový rezeň (Naked/Unbreaded)
Pan-Fried Pork Cutlet (Unbreaded) with Green Salad
Yes, with a tweak: ask for the pork cutlet to be 'unbreaded' (bez trojobalu/nahý rezeň) or 'natural' (prírodný rezeň), explicitly confirming no flour or breadcrumbs are used. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Slovak dishes.
What it is
A tender pork cutlet, pan-fried to perfection without any breading. This keto version focuses on the quality of the meat and rich cooking fats, served with a simple green salad instead of traditional carb-heavy sides.
Key ingredients
Pork loin or tenderloin, lard/oil/butter for frying, salt, pepper. Side salad: mixed greens, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for the pork cutlet to be 'unbreaded' (bez trojobalu/nahý rezeň) or 'natural' (prírodný rezeň), explicitly confirming no flour or breadcrumbs are used. Request it pan-fried in butter or lard. Omit all traditional potato or rice side dishes. Opt for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Môžem prosím Bravčový rezeň ako prírodný rezeň, bez trojobalu, vysmažený na masle alebo masti? Žiadne zemiaky ani ryžu. Poprosím k tomu jednoduchý zelený šalát s olejom a octom.
