Plnená paprika (Keto Verzia)
Stuffed Peppers with Ground Meat (No Rice) in Tomato Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no rice in the meat stuffing. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Large bell peppers stuffed with a savory ground meat mixture (typically pork and/or beef) and simmered in a light tomato sauce. Modified to be keto by omitting the traditional rice from the stuffing, focusing on the meat and pepper.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground pork and/or beef, onions, garlic, eggs, spices (paprika, salt, pepper), tomato passata/sauce, beef broth, lard/oil.
