Mäsovo-zeleninové Papriky (bez ryže)
Meat and Vegetable Stuffed Peppers (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for the stuffing to be made without rice or breadcrumbs. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Bell peppers stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat and vegetables, baked or simmered in a light sauce. Traditionally, the stuffing contains rice. This keto version replaces rice with more vegetables or simply omits it.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground pork/beef, onions, garlic, eggs, spices, tomato puree (for sauce), broth.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for the stuffing to be made without rice or breadcrumbs. Confirm the tomato sauce is not sweetened or thickened with flour. Request non-starchy vegetables as a side instead of potatoes or dumplings.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Mäsovo-zeleninové papriky, prosím, bez ryže a strúhanky v plnke. Je paradajková omáčka nesladená a bez múky? Namiesto prílohy chcem nízkosacharidovú zeleninu.
For the stuffed peppers, please, no rice or breadcrumbs in the stuffing. Is the tomato sauce unsweetened and flour-free? I'd like non-starchy vegetables as a side.
Watch out for
Rice or breadcrumbs in the stuffing, added sugar or flour thickeners in the tomato sauce, served with bread/potatoes. Bell peppers themselves contribute some carbs.
