Jaternica/Krvavnička (bez prílohy)
Slovak Liver/Blood Sausage (with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no bread, potatoes, or potato pancakes are served. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Traditional Slovak sausages made from pork liver (Jaternica) or blood (Krvavnička), often mixed with pork meat and fat. These are savory and packed with flavor, and generally keto-friendly on their own.
Key ingredients
Pork liver/blood, pork meat, pork fat, rice/bread (minimal filler in good quality), onions, marjoram, salt, pepper. Served with sauerkraut and mustard.
How to make it keto
Ensure no bread, potatoes, or potato pancakes are served. Request a side of plain sauerkraut and sugar-free mustard.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Žiadny chlieb, zemiaky ani zemiakové placky. Namiesto toho poprosím čistú kyslú kapustu a nesladenú horčicu.
No bread, potatoes, or potato pancakes, please. Can I have a side of plain sauerkraut and sugar-free mustard instead?
Watch out for
Some commercial versions or less traditional recipes might contain more rice or bread crumbs as fillers. Traditional potato or bread sides are common.
