Pečená Hus s Dusenou Kapustou (bez lokší)
Roasted Goose with Stewed Cabbage (No Potato Pancakes)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potato pancakes (lokše) or potato dumplings are served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Crispy-skinned, juicy roasted goose, a traditional festive dish. The rich meat is accompanied by stewed cabbage (red and/or white), modified to be low-carb by omitting potato pancakes (lokše) and added sugars from the cabbage.
Key ingredients
Whole or half roasted goose, salt, pepper, caraway seeds. Stewed cabbage (white or red), cooked with onions, goose fat, and vinegar. No lokše (potato pancakes), no potato dumplings.
How to make it keto
Ensure no potato pancakes (lokše) or potato dumplings are served. Confirm the red cabbage is prepared without added sugar; ask for plain white sauerkraut if red cabbage is always sweetened.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Poprosím hus bez lokší a zemiakových knedlí. Je červená kapusta bez cukru, alebo by som mohol dostať bielu kvasenú kapustu?
Please serve the goose without lokše or potato dumplings. Is the red cabbage sugar-free, or can I have plain white sauerkraut instead?
Watch out for
Lokše (potato pancakes) are a standard accompaniment. Red cabbage is often sweetened significantly. Potato dumplings or other starchy sides.
