Jaternica (bez príloh s vysokým obsahom sacharidov)
Slovak Liver Sausage (No High-Carb Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: ask about the rice content. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional Slovak sausage made from pork liver, rice, pork meat, and spices, encased in natural casing and usually pan-fried. The rice component makes it 'Keto friendly with modifications' requiring careful portioning and omission of all other carb sides. This version focuses on the rich, savory sausage itself.
Key ingredients
Pork liver, pork meat, rice, onions, spices (marjoram, black pepper, garlic), pork fat.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask about the rice content. If very high, avoid. If moderate, treat as an ingredient and limit quantity. Ensure no bread or potato sides. Ask for a side of plain mustard and pickles.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Jaternica. Je bez ryže/žemle? Ak nie, túto si nedám. S kyslou kapustou a horčicou, namiesto zemiakov, prosím.

Watch out for
The rice content within the sausage itself is the main carb risk. Hidden sugars in commercial mustard/horseradish. High-carb side dishes.
