Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground pork/beef mix, eggs, onions, garlic, tomato puree/sauce, lard/oil, salt, pepper, paprika.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request the stuffing to be made without rice ('bez ryže'). Inquire if the tomato sauce has added sugar; if so, ask for a less sweet version or a smaller amount of sauce.
If you order it anyway, say this (Slovak)
Plnená Paprika, prosím. Náplň chcem bez ryže. Obsahuje paradajková omáčka pridaný cukor? Ak áno, prosím menej sladkú alebo menšiu porciu omáčky.
Plnená Paprika, please. Crucially, the stuffing must be without rice. Does the tomato sauce have added sugar? If so, can I have a less sweet version or less sauce?
Watch out for
The traditional stuffing contains rice, making it high-carb. Tomato sauce can often contain added sugar in restaurant settings. The bell peppers themselves contribute to total carbs.
