What it is
Succulent slow-roasted pork shoulder or belly, seasoned simply and cooked until tender with crispy skin (if pork belly). Modified to exclude starchy sides like potatoes or dumplings, focusing on the rich pork and a side of stewed cabbage.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/belly, salt, black pepper, garlic, caraway seeds, lard/oil. Side: Stewed white cabbage (dusená kapusta), onions, mustard (preferably dijon or coarse ground).
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes (zemiaky) or dumplings (knedľa). Ask for extra stewed cabbage (dusená kapusta) and confirm it contains no added sugar, or minimal. Alternatively, ask for plain steamed non-starchy vegetables if available.
Watch out for
Sugars often added to stewed cabbage (dusená kapusta) for flavor. Potential hidden sugars in pork rubs or marinades. Some mustards can contain sugar.
