What it is
Fresh, crisp cucumbers are hollowed out and filled with a savory and well-seasoned mixture of minced pork and beef, fresh dill, and spices. These are then baked or simmered in a light, keto-friendly sauce, offering a unique low-carb twist on traditional stuffed vegetables.
Key ingredients
Cucumbers, ground pork, ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, paprika, beef broth, small amount of tomato paste (optional).
How to make it keto
Ensure the meat filling contains no rice or breadcrumbs. If a sauce is used, it should be thin and free of flour/sugar. Serve plain or with a drizzle of full-fat sour cream.
Watch out for
Rice or breadcrumbs in the filling, sugary tomato sauces, starch thickeners in any accompanying sauce.
