Plnená Paprika s Mäsom (Bez Ryže)
Stuffed Peppers with Minced Meat (No Rice, Keto-Friendly)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the minced meat stuffing is prepared without rice. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Bell peppers generously filled with a savory mixture of seasoned minced pork and beef, simmered in a rich tomato sauce. For a keto adaptation, the traditional rice in the stuffing is entirely omitted.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, minced pork, minced beef, onions, lard/oil, tomato sauce (unsweetened or low sugar), paprika, salt, pepper, garlic, egg (binder).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the minced meat stuffing is prepared without rice. Request the tomato sauce to be unsweetened or low in sugar. Avoid any potato or bread accompaniments.
Watch out for
Rice in the stuffing (the primary carb risk), high sugar content in tomato sauce, flour thickeners in the sauce.
