Mäsové Fašírky (Bez Strúhanky)
Keto Meat Patties with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: request that the patties are made without breadcrumbs (strúhanka). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Traditional Slovak meat patties, usually made with ground pork or beef, but often include breadcrumbs. A keto version requires omission of breadcrumbs and a suitable side.
Key ingredients
Ground pork/beef patties (prepared without breadcrumbs, using egg or flax meal as binder), onion, garlic, salt, pepper, marjoram. Served with a creamy mushroom sauce (mushrooms, cream, butter, onion, garlic) and steamed spinach.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request that the patties are made without breadcrumbs (strúhanka). Ask for a creamy mushroom sauce without flour thickener and steamed low-carb vegetables (e.g., spinach) instead of potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Fašírky poprosím bez strúhanky. Krémová hubová omáčka bez múky a dusená zelenina namiesto zemiakov.

Watch out for
