Grilovaný Bravčový Kotlet (bez trojobalu)
Grilled Pork Cutlet (unbreaded, with keto vegetables)

What it is
A tender pork cutlet, seasoned and grilled or pan-fried without any breading (trojobal). This modification transforms a traditional Slovak 'rezeň' (schnitzel) into a keto-friendly protein-focused meal, served with non-starchy vegetables.
Key ingredients
Pork loin or neck cutlet, cooking oil (lard/butter), salt, black pepper. Keto side: Grilled vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms) or steamed green beans.
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Explicitly request 'bez trojobalu' (without breading). Request no fries (hranolky), potatoes (zemiaky), or rice. Ask for grilled or steamed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, bell peppers) instead.

Watch out for
Cross-contamination with breading if fried in the same oil. Sauces sometimes served with grilled meats might contain flour or sugar. High-carb vegetables could be mistakenly served as a side.
