What it is
A traditional Slovak cold dish, `Huspenina` consists of various pork parts (such as trotters and hocks) slow-cooked until all the natural collagen breaks down and gels into a savory, clear aspic when chilled. It's a rich source of healthy fats and protein, traditionally served with a splash of vinegar, with bread explicitly omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Pork trotters/hocks/skin/meat, onions, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, salt, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Ensure no bread (chlieb) is served alongside. Request plain vinegar, confirming it is unsweetened.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in sweetened vinegar dressings, and its traditional accompaniment of bread, which must be avoided.
