What it is
Jaternica is a traditional Slovak liver sausage, typically made from pork liver, fat, and often rice or breadcrumbs. When modified, it can be a high-fat keto option, especially served with sauerkraut.
Key ingredients
Pork liver, pork meat, pork fat, spices (marjoram, pepper), onions, lard/oil. Served with sauerkraut.
If you order it anyway
Request Jaternica without potato or bread sides. Inquire if the sausage contains rice or breadcrumbs (some traditional versions do, some less so). Choose sauerkraut that is not overly sweetened. If unsure about sausage fillers, consider 'Údené Mäso' instead.
