Jaternica / Krvavnica so Dusenou Kapustou (Keto Modified)
Liver Sausage / Blood Sausage with Braised Sauerkraut (Keto Modified)

Key ingredients
Jaternica/Krvavnica (pork liver/blood, pork meat, fat, spices, trace rice/barley), sauerkraut, onions, lard/oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
While these sausages traditionally contain some rice/barley, select a restaurant known for traditional preparation with minimal filler. Request extra braised sauerkraut (without added sugar) instead of any potato sides. Confirm no added bread/dumplings.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Prosím, bez zemiakov. Môžete potvrdiť, či Jaternica/Krvavnička obsahuje minimum alebo žiadnu ryžu/pečivo v plnke?
No potatoes, please. Can you confirm if the Jaternica/Krvavnička contains minimal or no rice/bread filler?
Watch out for
Rice/barley filler within the sausage (inherent to the dish, but manageable in smaller amounts), bread/potatoes as sides, sugar in sauerkraut.
