Bryndza s Oškvarami na Karfiolovej Kaši
Sheep Cheese and Bacon with Cauliflower Mash
Yes, with a tweak: this is a significant modification. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto reinterpretation of the national dish 'Bryndzové Halušky'. Creamy bryndza (Slovak sheep cheese) is topped with crispy fried bacon bits (oškvarami) and served over a bed of mashed cauliflower instead of potato dumplings.
Key ingredients
Bryndza cheese, smoked bacon (oškvarami), cauliflower, butter, cream, salt.
How to make it keto
This is a significant modification. Inquire if the kitchen can serve bryndza and oškvarami (fried bacon bits) over a plain side of cauliflower mash or steamed green vegetables instead of traditional potato dumplings (halušky). Clarify no flour or starches in any preparation.
Watch out for
The authentic dish (Bryndzové Halušky) is very high carb due to potato dumplings. The modifications are critical. Ensure the cauliflower mash isn't pre-made with starchy additions. Bacon curing often contains sugar.
