Pečená Kačica s Dusenou Kapustou (Roast Duck with Braised Cabbage)
Traditional Slovak Roast Duck with Braised Red Cabbage
Yes, with a tweak: omit all potato-based sides (lokše, potato dumplings). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Crispy-skinned, succulent roast duck, a festive Slovak dish. It's often served with braised red cabbage and lokše (potato pancakes), but the duck and cabbage can be keto-friendly with careful modifications.
Key ingredients
Whole duck, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, onion, braised red cabbage (red cabbage, onion, vinegar, lard/duck fat).
How to make it keto
Omit all potato-based sides (lokše, potato dumplings). Ensure the braised red cabbage is prepared without added sugar or apples. Confirm no sugary glazes on the duck.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Bez lokší a zemiakových knedlí, prosím. Je červená kapusta bez pridaného cukru alebo jabĺk? A je kačica bez cukrovej glazúry?
No lokše or potato dumplings. Red cabbage without added sugar/apples? Confirm no sugary glazes on the duck, please.
Watch out for
Sugary glazes on the duck, sweetened braised red cabbage (very common with red cabbage), high-carb sides (lokše, potato dumplings).
