Pečené Kačacie Prsia s Dusenou Kapustou (bez Lokší)
Roasted Duck Breast with Braised Cabbage (without potato pancakes)
Yes, with a tweak: request no lokše (potato pancakes). About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Crispy-skinned roasted duck breast, tender and rich in flavor, traditionally served with sweet braised red or white cabbage. For a keto diet, it is crucial to omit the high-carb potato pancakes (lokše) usually served alongside.
Key ingredients
Duck breast, red or white cabbage, onions, duck fat, vinegar, salt, pepper. Sometimes caraway seeds or bay leaves are added to the cabbage.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no lokše (potato pancakes). Confirm that the braised cabbage has no added sugar, or very minimal. If possible, request a green salad instead of cabbage if sugar content cannot be confirmed.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Bez lokší, prosím. Je dusená kapusta bez cukru? Ak nie, poprosím zeleninový šalát.
No lokše, please. Is the cabbage sugar-free? Otherwise, I'd prefer a green salad.
Watch out for
Sugar often added to braised cabbage in significant amounts in restaurant settings, onions in the cabbage. Lokše are high carb and must be avoided.
